One of the biggest blessings on this trip has been the kids. Over half of the families brought some/all of their other children. In addition to that, 4 of the families have adopted older kids. All the kids have gotten along so well and as parents we keep thanking God for this bonus.
Last night we decided to celebrate Halloween with all the kids. We all bought candy and some of the kids dressed up and we went trick-or-treating to each other's rooms. It was a blast!!!!! It was especially fun to watch the newly adopted kids. One little guy, Scott, is 4 and I could have just watched him all night. The way his face lit up every time he went to a door and got candy would have just made your heart melt. The pure joy in his face was amazing to watch. We even got our guides Maggie and Fontana to join in - they admitted it was a first for them :) This will probably be the most memorable trick-or-treating my kids will ever have!
