On Tuesday we had to make our last trip over to Superstore to get many food items that Fran and Amy wanted to bring home with them. Cake mixes, ingredients to make spaghetti, cinnamon, pie plates and boxes of pastry ingredients to make apple pies, lemon-pie filling...etc. They are really keen on duplicating some of the things we made together! I think it's great! :) And I hope it works out well for them.

for their last few meals I made sure to make things they loved, so we ate steak, KFC and spaghetti was their last meal:

After dinner on Wednesday, we had a time of goodbye and gifts. The girls just spoiled us! Gabriella got this new outfit she is wearing in the picture; Jason got an Apple iPod; Elijah got
Shrek the Halls DVD with Donkey stuffie; Samuel got an outfit for his Teddy Bear (he liked to play with their bears with them in their room)

Gabi kept hugging Amy over and over again and Elijah did too. I was crying before we even opened the gifts.

Amy and Fran also spoiled me. They gave me an assortment of gifts that included a glass Fairy, picture frame, glitter, rubber stamp set, stickers and this Pink Cordoroy 12x12 scrapbook kit! (the pic flipped itself again, so sorry and it's a bit dark)

We are going to miss Amy and Fran. They tell us not to miss them though because they will be back. Most Students say they will be back, but this is different. I am
sure they will be back. Even within the year. Fran and Amy went from here to Toronto for 5 days before heading home to Beijing (like all of our Chinese girls do) and they have called me every night so far from their hotel room. They are buying me gifts while at Niagara Falls and will use the gifts as a bargaining chip with their Mother to come back so they can give them to me! LOL. They also left a few things in their room that they shouldn't have...another bargaining chip ;)
Anyway - Amy and Fran - we will miss you and hope to see you again!

Is EJ really sleeping & is Sammy wearing a pink shirt?
They stay all by themselves in Toronto?
No, EJ is not sleeping. My kids don't just sleep any where like yours do! LOL.
No, Sammy is not wearing pink. (I thought you always clicked on the pic to make it larger? If you did you'd be able to see) There is a pink gift bag in front of him and on his leaf-printed shirt he is wearing, we do have a pink leaf on it (that's the shirt we made on our Church Retreat weekend).
No, they don't go to Toronto all by themselves either. They have a Teacher with them while they are here with us and she accompanies them to Toronto as well as the Woman who is in charge of setting up this Program with their Beijing School and our School.
I had to giggle at your comments to each other :) Too observant sometimes LOL :)
That will be very exciting if they make their way back!
What a special thing you do!!
