Thank you Diana!

My son goes to school with a great kid and this kids mom is pretty great too. She has been so supportive of us during our adoption and so kind.
The day Keaton went to school after we got our referral, Diana and Dalton had spent the night before and made homemade Vietnamese cookies and cut up tropical fruit to take in to Keaton's class... a surprise to Congratulate him on the big news.

That is some kind of special I think! Keaton came home that day feeling so happy and told me all about the cookies they'd made him. I can't say enough about what a great lady she is (and her son is pretty darn great too).

Today Diana showed up at our house with Dalton and he was so excited. Dalton had a big box that he'd prepared and inside the box was all kinds of useful donations for Meg's orphanage and the children there - stuff like toothbrushes and markers and crayons and scabies medication. It was so sweet to see this friend of Keaton's so extremely excited to be GIVING. He said to me "This is for the kids in Vietnam where Meg lives"... Diana is doing such a good thing for the children at the orphanage but I think the lesson she taught her son about the joy in giving to those in need is just great!

Thank you Diana. You are amazing!
