Fool..............such a funny word really. Just the way it's spelt and the way it sounds when you say it. Today's April 1st aka April Fool's, but I had no idea today was April 1st, so I missed it. Not that I had any amazing pranks planned, but it would've been nice if I could have said "happy april fool's day" to someone. Although I don't know if HK people what it is.
Flip flop weather has come upon us! YAY! I finally get to seriously break in my Myanmar leather flip flops. Sturdy, nonslip rubber sole. Leather inlay. Velvet straps. Although the leather and/or rubber makes it stink to high heaven. Nonetheless, simple yet beautiful (yes, I'm still talking about my flip flops).
FINALLY visited the Shenzhen orphanage today!!:) A group from my church who goes every Saturday. As we sat in our rented van in the traffic, I was nervous about meeting the kiddies. I've never been to an orphanage before and I wasn't sure what to expect. It was overwhelming at first when all the kiddies rush at you wanting you to touch and hold them. Just wish I had a few extra arms. The kiddies are sooooo adorable. We taught the older ones songs and drew pictures with them. Some of them are really smart. Fed and held the wee little babies. I was so happy to see the kiddies happy. But at the same time, my heart was breaking knowing that they had been abandoned by their parents. All the little things we take for granted, they cherished deeply. A simple hug, stickers, a few snacks, words of praise, a smile. Yet they are also blessed to be at the orphanage instead of on the streets. I hope I'll have the opportunity to go back again.

Our daughter was adopted from the Shenzhen Orphanage (SWI) in September of last year. I'm so happy that people like you visit the kids and think about them.
