the Party Continued

The children were having a wonderful time...
Picture
...giving the ladies a chance to catch up on the latest news.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Paige was the oldest of all the children and had reached that in-between stage where she was starting to feel too old to hang out with the younger children, and sought out more adult company.
Picture
 Meanwhile, Lisa was keeping to herself...
Picture
Picture
Nami noticed her sitting all alone....
Picture
...and went over to talk to her...
Picture
Naomi also noticed...
Picture
Picture
...and sat down to talk to her.    "I noticed you are over here all by yourself. Are you okay?"
Picture
"I don't know.  I'm really missing my family. Especially all my little brothers and sisters."
Picture
"I don't understand why Mama needed to send me here.""
Picture
"I can understand that it's very difficult for you, and that you are feeling lonely, and missing everyone back home."
Picture
"The people here are very nice and welcoming," she continued, "and I expect that you'll start to feel comfortable here soon."
Picture
 "In the meantime, why don't you ask your aunt for some writing paper, so you can keep in touch with your family back home? I'm sure they'd love to hear from you. "

a Broken Balloon

There was suddenly a loud bang in the middle of the room...
Picture
Picture
Picture
Ringo's balloon had popped...
Picture
Picture
Picture
"My balloon broke.."
Picture
Picture
Picture
But Naomi had come prepared, and pulled lots more balloons out of her pocket.
Picture
...and offered Ringo a new one...
Picture
"You can blow it up yourself."
Picture
"Just blow really hard into the opening."
Picture
Picture
Picture
"Wow!  it's like magic!"
Picture
All the other children wanted to try blow up a balloon too....
Picture
Picture
Picture
So everyone got a chance to blow one up for themselves...
Picture
Even Lisa wanted to try...

A Room Full of Balloons

With all the extra balloons, the room was suddenly full of them...
Picture
Picture
Picture
Bonnie and Jamie went to show their Mom...
Picture
Picture
Picture
Faye gave her big sister one of her's...
Picture
Picture
Paige gave her  Mom one of her balloons, and they started bouncing them back and forth to each other...
Picture
Picture
It was a lot of fun!
Picture
...with everyone bouncing the balloons around.
Picture
Bianca went over to Naomi...
Picture
Picture
"I want to thank you for coming, and bringing the donuts and all these balloons."
Picture
"I don't think the girls have ever had this much fun at their birthday parties before."
Picture
Picture
And their mothers hadn't either...
Picture
Picture
Judith and Faye had the best birthday ever.
