Tea anyone?

As girls in training as we call our young ones, an opportunity to entertain was a must. So a tea was planned, invitations were sent, goodies were planned and prepared and role play was done. We were ready! They behaved beautifully for the most part (a little jockeying over the guests and maybe a few too many chocolate dipped strawberries consumed), but the afternoon was a success.
The day before the tea we suddenly lost 3 sisters. An unexpected court date and they were gone out of our lives. That is hard on the girls and us. But we pray that all will go well as these girls return to their town and live with an older sister. What a difference 3 less children make! Less mess and noise and planning time, but also an emptiness in both our home and hearts. We know that just as quickly we will get a call and will again be welcoming a new little one who has been taken from her home.
So such is life in a childrens' home.

Please continue your prayers for us and these little ones. Our quiet days our coming to an end and the evidence of children in residence will be apparent day and night.
