But...the others were not forgotten!

As we couldn't take everyone, we decided some take out was the order of the day.

We would have loved to take soft serves, but they wouldn't last the trip...

so we armed ourselves with what we knew our Chinese kids would love....

Would you believe it.... Corn... and fries!

Yes, where else in the world do you know of kids who consider corn a wonderful treat?

Our kids LOVE it!

So, for an after dinner snack everyone chowed down on corn, fries and ketchup!

And they had a wonderful time!

A stop at Maccas.

We had to make a trip to town today and Landon was the lucky little guy who got to come along for the ride.

We asked him if he'd like some McDonalds.

He's only been there once before - but this little man knows his mind.

YES - came the quick reply!

He devoured the corn, the OJ, and then polished off the burger.

But, he still found enough room in that little tummy of his, to put away a whole soft serve!

Lilly's Turn.

Our youngest little darling had her first casts this week. Although she wasn't super thrilled to start with about all that was going on, it wasn't long before she settled down.

We just love the photo of her looking up at our Supervisor, who is always with the children when they have their casting appointments.

We hope that you enjoy following her journey with us.

1st Cast a Breeze!

Sarah slept peacefully through most of her first casting appointment this week.

When I checked her throughout the day, she was content just to sleep and drink just as normal.

Her new casts didn't make one iota of difference to her normal routine!

Nice weather at last!

Today the kids had fun outside in the lovely weather.

They jumped on the trampoline.

They played in the sandpit.

They rode bikes.

It was lovely to see them enjoy the nice day.

Look who popped in!

Sophie came in for her first checkup since going into foster care.

She is doing really well, and her feet are doing all the right things!

She has a great foster mum who just loves this little cutie pie to pieces.

Pardon me Claire – are they your new shoes ….and brace?

She is mobile, crawling all around and into everything as normal,

BUT,

she doesn’t like anyone even looking at her feet or taking a photos!

So these shots are taken after a lot of cajoling by Gabi!
