My amazing kids

After school today I told the kids they needed to pick out a video to watch to relax for a little bit before they headed outside.  Kylie picked out the World Vision dvd that came with our child sponsorship packet...
Ky: Let's watch this one.
R: Yeah, Imani, you HAVE to see this.  It's the best movie about Africa, where our big sister lives.
Ky: Yeah and some people there don't even have water.
R: And they can't go to school, but Meskerem can cause we send her some money.  Oh Mom, I have more money we can send Meskerem. (talking about money he got in Halloween cards)
And one day maybe Meskerem can come live here, but she lives really far away.  I wish she lived here cause I could teach her how to speak English.
**get out your tissues, cause this is when I lost it***
R: See those kids there?  They are about to die, and they might not know Jesus yet.  It is so sad.

Here is a picture of our sweet Meskerem.
