Holding up a planet in Tomorrowland. Chad wanted no part of such pics.

Griffin and Carrigan were very impressed that we met Iron Man

The kids’ welcome sign for Chad (mangled by the new house owners, but that’s another story)

Absolutely American

Welcome home – let’s move! We’ll miss this place.

The baby specializes in NOT doing this.

Family pictures are even new for him.

At least he will have this fuzzy pic at Hershey to remind him of this time.

China – a place of beauty…and of darkness. In that way, it’s just like the US.

When the story is over, it’s always worth it.
Sometimes it can be hard to get started when you see overwhelming need in the world. There are so MANY kids needing families and the magnitude of the problem becomes even more clear when you get into the midst of it. No matter how many kids we take in, it makes very little difference in the big scheme of things, and that can be discouraging. The orphan crisis in the world is actually growing regardless of anything I can personally do about it.
