Last Saturday night, we enjoyed a surprise birthday party for a friend of ours. They had a D.J. and fast music, and neither Elizabeth or Kimi could contain themselves...they HAD to get up and dance to the music! So, Mike and Kimi danced, and Elizabeth videotaped it! I thought I'd share the video here. If nothing else, if Kimi is ever diagnosed with "shaken baby syndrome", I'll have proof she did it herself...okay...with a little help from her Daddy! :-) Check out that sweet face!

Help for Kimi's Orphanage!!!
For some background, last September, I met with someone who is on the board of Love Without Boundaries (LWB), a group that raises funds to help the orphans left behind in China. She asked me about Kimi's background and I shared with her about Kimi being left in her crib in a Chinese orphanage the first 46 months of her life . I went on to tell her how the Director of the orphanage apologetically explained to me (via the translator) how many children they had living there, many of whom were severe SN children, and how few workers they had. She asked me to provide her with the name of the orphanage, etc. so that LWB volunteers could provide help to the children. So, I provided the information. After speaking with the Director of LWB, she wrote me and said, "...they would start out by offering to help with any medical issues needed and offer to move some of the babies into LWB's Fuzhou Healing Home for care." I had not heard anything more since then, but was thrilled to know that there were children who would be helped as a direct result of Kimi's having lived there.
Well, today, I went to the LWB website, and there were photos of children living in Kimi's orphanage in Huai'An, Jiangsu Province, wearing nice, warm, new outfits provided by LWB last December! So, I thought I would share the link to the article and photos! http://www.lovewithoutboundaries.com/sites/lwb/uploads/documents/Nutrition__OA_Updates/OA__Nutrition_Update_-_Dec._2011.pdf . They are the first 6 photos in the article. Made my day!!
