Busy days.

Sunday Eli went forward to accept a card and farewells from the church family.

Yesterday we enjoyed a day-visit with friends and a short visit with F. Details here.

Very thankful F's in a great place, surrounded with love. His foster family are good people; friends we will work to stay in touch with and travel to visit when possible.

Anna woke up, thought it was 4 a.m. and prepared for the day.

After a while, she realized that the real time when she woke up had been 1 a.m.

After a full day of friends she slept in the car, slept sitting on the couch at a friend's home, and as soon as we arrived home feel asleep again.

She did wake up briefly at 12:30 a.m. when I went to investigate why the living room light remained on [[Eli forgot], and therefore, brushed her teeth and fed the cat.

She woke up at 7 this morning set to finish up a bit of school, clean her room and finish getting the guest house prepared for this afternoon's arrival of the Forge Haiti Experience 2015 Team!

Cory plans to spend the morning in the gardens; I'll keep Eli and Anna busy with packing, cleaning while trying to get some office work done.

The team will fly into PAP this morning and then head up north.

We're planning a early supper for them this afternoon.

Thankful to return home last night to 2 more e-mails with appointment times and one asking for open times [the dentist].

Think Kody knows something big is coming. The rest of us keep commenting how it does not feel like we're leaving on Friday.

Maybe we're in denial.

Know we're all trying to focus on the positives but very aware of the bittersweet feelings of transitioning Eli to the USA.

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.
