We're Here!

Here we are. It's been so busy that this is first chance I have had to post. And, unfortunately there is a line behind me for using the computer, so this will short and to the point. It is so wonderful to be back again. We've missed the people - more than we knew until we got here. We've done cooking classes at the school (three so far...spice cookies and then thumbprint cookies. Yum!) The kids have loved it and they have been so fun to work with. They are so anxious to practice their English, and to find out everything about life in the U.S. We also delivered the toys to the orphanage, and were able to get some photos and video. The children were precious, and were so much more interactive than last year. It was a relief to see the children smiling and so comfortable with us. They loved the toys. We sat on the floor and played with the children for about an hour. What an incredible blessing.
We went to the mountains today and hiked up to an old Albanian church. It was beautiful and peaceful and we felt like we were truly in another world.

I am going to try and post some photos tomorrow. Hopefully. Keeping fingers crossed.
