Tonight, Cami's new friend and her mom (who is now my new friend!) stopped by our room after dinner. We had skipped dinner and the girls had made known their disappointment in that, so they came for a visit. They had a blast - there was laughter and bed jumping and light playing. There is no better music to a mother's ear than to hear their child's laughter - and when that child came from a place where there probably wasn't much laughter - it is like the choir of heaven's angels rejoicing!
After our friends left (a little later than normal -but well worth it!), Cami took a bubble bath. Up till now, she had been showering, but tonight I had run her a bubble bath. To say she liked it....well, that just doesn't do it justice!
New friends and bubble baths - life just doesn't get much better than this - for anyone!
So today my friends - try both....it is sure to bring joy!!!
Karen,

So glad to hear of the girls' delight, laughter, and joy. To think of all that they have been through and yet they have JOY - wow! Thanks for sharing. I hope to be travelling after CNY to adopt our dd who is 8 1/2 years. This gives me hope!
