Fete!
Yesterday a going away party was held in our honor. It was so fun to have so many people come and say goodbye. Even more fun was that they accidentally came in shifts, so that we could spend quality time with each group, instead of having a mass of people all at once. We will miss this team here and hope to encourage each other long distance as we travel this summer.

Since the original day for the party was 3.14, it was pie themed, but chaotic schedules had it moved to St. Patty’s Day, but keeping the pie theme, of course.
Today is Matthew’s last official day of work – the rest of the week will be spent closing up the house we’ve been borrowing for the last year, packing, and tying up those loose ends. I do have one more shopping trip with adopting parents on Wednesday, which I am looking forward to as a mental break from the packing and keeping the children sane (HA!).
And, lastly, two really cute pictures of this ridiculously adorable girl that we get to raise!
You all have a safe trip back. Let us know if you get anywhere near Orlando before you go back.
