Updates from Olivia

 I've been in touch with Olivia just about every day of her China trip.
She is having such an amazing experience.  
Here are just a few of the photos she has sent me. 

Olivia texted me last week and said she had fallen in love with a "little sister." Yes, that's right... she feel in love with a little girl named Rose and begged us to adopt her.
Well, luckily we didn't have to make any decisions on whether or not to bring home child number 4.   Rose already has a family in the process of bringing her home.  :)
Rose will have a permanent place in Olivia's heart. 
Olivia sent me this pic and my heart melted too.. What a little doll!


Olivia and her group went to the Agape Children's Home.  This is an orphanage for kids who have brittle bone disease. 
At this facility they have children's artwork hanging on the walls for sale. 
The money for the artwork goes to support the children's home. 
Olivia bought this painting and they asked her if she would like to meet the little boy who painted it.  She of course, said "Yes!"
She met this budding artist and had him sign the painting. 
She can't wait to hang this in her room.  
Olivia's room is done in aqua blues and I think this pop of orange will be gorgeous in there. 

Olivia also had the chance to meet up with Jing Fei (Jennifer).  Jennifer is our newest exchange student and will be joining us for the 2014-2015 school year.  
Olivia says Jennifer is super sweet and is looking forward to her staying here. 
Olivia arrives home tomorrow afternoon.
I cannot wait to see her and hear more about her trip!
