A mountain of mulch and other updates...

It's been a very busy week for the girls. 
They've been attending the Families for International Adoption Heritage Camp during the day.
 Emma is working again as a teen volunteer in Josie's classroom.
Midweek, Chris had a mountain of mulch delivered to our house.
After getting home from work and camp, all four of us weeded flower beds and hauled a zillion wheelbarrows of mulch until it was so dark you couldn't see anymore.
The yard is nice and tidy again.
There was even enough mulch left over from our HUGE mountain to give Camp Toadstool and treehouse/garden shed some fresh mulch.
In other updates, Chris attended a picker's estate sale.  He found some neat things and if you follow me on Instagram, you've seen the sneak peek already.
In the mean time, I'll leave you with a couple of random pictures of the sorts of things that were abandoned on this property. Next week, I'll share more.  
  May your father's day weekend be filled with lots of adventures! 
XOXO

Families for International Children Heritage Camp 2012

The week before we went on vacation, Josie attended a four-day heritage camp sponsored by the Families for International Adoptions.   

 What a fantastic experience.

 Our rental cottage has always conflicted with the date of this particular camp, but luckily we were able to postpone our cottage by a week and Josie was able to attend.

On the last day of camp, the children were encouraged to wear clothing representative of their country for the closing ceremonies.  Over 385 children attended this year's camp.  Truly unbelievable.

Yes.  I had tears.

We love you so very much, Miss Josephine Xue!
