This is a picture at the going away party all dressed in African garb!!! Erin helped us all get hooked up with custom made clothes and bags!Then...
Early Thursday morning Simon, Cory and Ben all left to go live at a new orphanage, Havillah Village. They have just out grown CoL. Havillah is a group home for children age 3 and up. It is an American run facility with a standard of care equivalent to CoL. At Havillah they will have the opportunity to be with older children and go to school. Ned and Emily, who are currently running the facility, volunteered at CoL in the fall and know the boys very well. I'm so glad the boys have familiar faces to help with the transition. Our prayer has been for the boys to have a smooth transition and feel comfortable in their new home. Davona received a message from Emily on Friday saying there had been a few tears, but over all the boys were doing very good. This is going to be a wonderful move for the boys, but we already miss them so much. Now there is no one saying "Me want to go to Danish" or "Me get nuts" or "Take me Bath". We may have more issues adjusting than the boys...haha. But, the good news is that Havillah is only about 15 minutes away. So, we should be able to visit them!

This is the house the boys are living in.
Ben is in the middle playing with 2 of the other boys at Havillah, on a visit a few weeks ago.
