At about midnight last night Ella woke up throwing up. Delia joined in first thing this morning. An obvious cancellation and postponement of today's party was in order. It's been a frustrating day. Not just because the kids are sick, but because we had so many great things planned: the conclusion of our intense week at Bible school (I had to make hasty, early-morning sub arrangements), this celebration of Delia with our closest friends and our last bit of time with Dave before he flies off to help others. No one was more disappointed than Ella. Throughout the day she would whimper, "I'm feeling much better now. I can go and sing!" or "I'm not sick anymore, now can we go to the party?" For her sake, we let Delia open 2 big gifts that arrived in the mail. The cute rocking giraffe from Karen and family and this music/game playing touch dog from Heather and Dan were both huge hits. Thanks Aunties! You sent these gifts as just birthday presents, yet they became much more-- pulling us out our sick gloom for an afternoon!

Well, you guys sure are good sports. I hope you had a good day with your dad even though you had to postpone the party. I hope you are feeling better!
Oh no, how sad. This is what happened on Meilani's b-day too although we didn't have time to cancel the party. I'm sure you'll find a creative way to still make the day memorable.
Blessings,
Dorina
P.S. Hope that present fits Delia....
