Good evening! I hope you have all had a great weekend - we did!
On Saturday, we stayed close to the apartment. Antigua is a busier place on the weekends, so we like to avoid the crowds. We decided to celebrate a "plain day" with a "plain party." You, too, can have a plain party! We decorated the kitchen with colored streamers (paper cut into long strips and colored with crayons) and baked a "plain party" cake. For our actually party, we watched Mermaidia (classic Barbie movie!) and played Go Fish. We had pizza and enjoyed some cake.
The best part was Luis' response. A party? And it's not for a birthday? Just because?? Wow, I bet he never imagined how much fun he'd have with his forever family (or how much of a sweet tooth his mom has, to come up with such an crazy reason to eat cake!).
Today, Sunday, was fantastic. We went to church this morning. We sang one of my favorite Spanish Christian worship songs. Caroline said, "I can't believe I can sing in Spanish!" The kids made some new friends at church. There is an option for Children's Sunday School but the kids would prefer to stay with me. It's fine either way.
After church, we met some friends for lunch. Sheila and Lily introduced me and the kids to two other moms who are fostering their children in Antigua like us. One mom was from the Dallas area, and the other was from the UK. We exchanged numbers since the other two moms might still be here awhile (unfortunately). Please pray for ALL the adopting families to finish up and get home!
Don't forget that we miss you!

Good Morning! Glad you had a great weekend and are finding other families for friendship. Wish I could hear the kids sing in Spanish, that would be so cool. We are working hard to get our move done. Can't wait to be settled in Texas! We send out love.
