gifts from two very special groups of people.

A few nights ago we had dinner with Dr. White (Olive's neonatologist) and his family. Dr. White and his wife attend a bible study one night a week with a group of adults who have special needs. This particular group of people has been praying for Olive since she was in Thailand. They had heard that Olive, like them, was going to have special needs and disabilities and they prayed for her every week and sincerely cared about her.

After she died they had a balloon send off in her honor with pink and white balloons. They also wanted to make sure we got this cross in a beautiful box and a card with their names on it. We were so touched when we heard about this group of people, and hope that we will get a chance to meet them and let them know how much their love for Olive meant to us.

The other letters below are from another first grade class in Texas. I thought they were so ridiculously cute with the spelling and pictures that I couldn't keep them all to myself. You can click on any of the photos to make them bigger and easier to read.
