Dear Family and Friends, This is an unusual email for me to write because this has never happened before.

‘Til the cows come home

Dear Family and Friends, I woke up this morning to an email message this morning telling me that our oldest foster child, Claudia, had to have an appendectomy yesterday.

Whirlwind trip

Dear Family and Friends, After what seemed like a whirlwind ten days in the USA, Daniel and I are now back in Romania. I got a good dose of reality when we left on Monday when our flight was cancelled (again) and they re-routed us through Paris against my wishes. As expected, when we arrive [...]
