Lonely Sister

Cara now asks me often when she will get to meet her brother. She has picked out Christmas presents for him. She is looking forward to taking tubbies together and she is constantly putting aside books and toys to save for him one day (even at other peoples houses!)

She is getting more lonely these days. Whenever we have friends over and it's time to nap or go home Cara will look at me sadly and say "I want my friend back." It's hard to be stuck in a place with no progress but it is hardest for me when I see the situation through Cara's eyes.

They are sending a team to Uganda in May to do more work on the facility and dig a new well.  In a recent email they included these photos of the orphanage. 

It's so cool to know that these kids are growing up in a beautiful place where they can laugh and play. I am going to choose to be thankful for that this Thanksgiving.
