Flower Power

The other day we received a surprise gift from the family that delivered our last care package to our daughters. Three pictures that T had drawn while the family was visiting with them. She wrote her name in both Amharic and English at the top of the pictures. I have hung them in a place of honour on our refrigerator, but will be putting them into an art portfolio for her soon. The most amazing thing is that one of the pictures is of beautiful flower. She is going to fit right in. When her momma was out photographing flowers, she was drawing them. Homer is hoping that she is a budding gardener. I'm hoping for a budding artist. Either way, we already have a connection and we have not even met.

Here is the picture drawn by our sweet rose. I am a proud momma.


Let your Bright Star Dreams blossom

Just one more piece of evidence that the children we are trusted with are meant for our family. I am often so amazed at that. I look at your girls often and think of how perfect they seem for you.
