She had such courage to make sure her little ones would not be left alone, you and Kevin and Anna had such courage to open your hearts and home to not just one baby, but two, and of course, Yosef and Biniam have courage they don't even know about yet! I would not forget Kaitlyn - it takes a lot of courage to love gnomes!<BR/><BR/>-JoanieJoaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09874232257064291731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14252293.post-41526421432124877772008-05-12T03:48:00.000-06:002008-05-12T03:48:00.000-06:00Oh her little heart is so sweet.

When I told him the people lying on streets had no homes, he got this great look on his face and said "they could sleep here mom! we have room!". Right now he is collecting things in a box to send to Africa, which includes many drawings, toys and his prized soccer trophy. Kids can teach us SO much!
