Home is where the signs are

When we arrived home we found our house all decked out in artwork and signs made by the street kids. That was pretty

awesome, but wait, there's more.

We had a huge greeting party from all the street people who came out to see us. Most of it was not registering in my sleep deprived brain, but there were al lot of people and kids there when we got out of the van.

Beatrix was actually very comfortable with the welcoming committee. She shot some smiles and waves and "HI"'s and even allowed a hug from a street girl who is almost her same age.

In the house we found a big bowl of chili and pasta with a salad waiting for us. Along with that were homemade cookies, cheese and crackers, and burritos and lasagna in the freezer. I can't imagine living in a better place than this and all the help and attention is truly appreciated. But wait, there's more.

On the kitchen counter we found this book. It was made by the street people and contained pictures, and children's artwork. It was wonderful and will make a great addition to Beatrix's adoption collection. But wait, there's more.

There was a letter and some signs for Olivia to giver her encouragement on being a big sister. Olivia has struggled with this sister thing, but she is slowly moving forward on becoming more comfortable with it.
