In March, we have 5 birthdays... Zoe, Jeremy, Sarah Mei, Jade, and Vanessa. Vanessa had a birthday party last week with her sponsors, so this week we celebrated the others' birthdays with a big party in preschool. Zoe turned 5, while Jeremy and Sarah Mei both turned 2. Jade and Vanessa celebrated their first birthdays. March is a busy birthday month at the Foster Home!

Forget the spoon; Wendel has figured out it is easier just to put your face down and go for it. |
