The boys are a little sad that we will not be here for Halloween. We took some time out tonight to go out to eat and celebrate my birthday. Everyone is telling me I will have to wait a couple days but it will be the best birthday present ever. They have no idea how right they are.

After dinner we promised to help the boys do their pumpkins. After a couple hours they had them ready for the front steps.

Laurie got all of our gifts and treats for the orphanage packed up, now we just have to get it all in our luggage.

I also got the most awesome package in the mail. Another family hoping to travel soon sent me a couple things to try and get to their daughter in a nearby orphange.

I am so happy to have the opportunity to try to give back to my adoptive group that has given us so much.

Only two nights to go and off to Vietnam.
