It's Time To Celebrate!

A lot of people have asked if Le & I were going to have a baby shower to celebrate Ruta & Alazar coming home. We have prayed about this a lot and how best to honor our children. After a lot of discussion, we've decided to fore go the baby shower. Instead, we are going to throw a pizza party for the boys of Kolfe Orphanage in Addis Ababa.

Kolfe is home to 140 boys who range in age from 10 to early twenties. Most of these boys have never had pizza or even a soda. I know you might be thinking that in a situation where they need so much, why would we throw them a pizza party? I firmly believe that these boys need to be SHOWERED with love and affection and since most of them have never celebrated their birthdays in true fashion, we want to give them that joy. We are also planning on visiting a leper colony in Ethiopia and bringing them some medical supplies and Bibles.

But since I am not a person who easily passes up a chance to party and hang out with friends, Le and I also wanted to say "thank you". So this Saturday, between 2 and 4p.m. at our house, we are having a celebration so we can say thanks. If you are in the area, come hang out for cookies and punch and spend a little time with us before we embark on our journey to Africa!
