There is always YUMMY potato salad, chicken and rice at these parties. And usually there's Bobo Rice (yummy sweet rice rolled in fresh coconut) -- imagine my disappointment at the Bobo Rice absence. (Thankfully I had just eaten a half pound of See's chocolate on my way to the party to ease the disappointment.)
Part of the festivities is dancing. Here's a group of Marshallese girls from Logan performing:
The part about these parties that always surprises me is how late they start. I'm not always on time, but when you say a party starts at 5:30 and it doesn't get started until 7:30 -- that's just always strange to me. Maybe one day I could be as 'laid back' as the Marshallese and just let things happen when they happen. (HA HA HA - I crack myself up, I'll NEVER be 'laid back'!)
Also, a quick shout out to Lorie this morning. Thanks so much for the chat! And know that I am thinking of you and crossing my fingers that all will go well. Thanks for what you have helped us with -- as I was driving home with Emma Saturday night I felt like the luckiest lady on the planet. Life is hard - but oh, so good!

I remember Emma's! And me climbing on top of a basketball banker to rescue some escaped balloons. Fun times!
How wonderful are you to keep a relationship with the birth mother!
Emma is a very lucky little girl!
Not to mention adorable!!!
Some day we are really going to have to chat and trade notes. You have no idea how much I appreciated your kindness! I wish I had your strength, Super Woman!
