thankful for rain

My friend Jo has a children's home here in Kathmandu. She came over this afternoon with almost all of her kids- 20 of them! Thankfully we have a HUGE house and a HUGE yard! She has almost no water at her house and lots of the kids needed to bathe. Thankfully it was kinda raining and we had LOTS of rain water! So we started piling them out there- the big ones in the bathroom and the little ones all naked out in the rain. I knew all of her kids but she recently got five more from way up in the mountains where its so cold that they probably almost never bathe. They were SOOOOOOOOOO cute I wanted to keep them! So tiny, and we were all scrubbing them down and rinsing them off with rain water while they laughed and smiled while saying "AAAAHHHHH-CHOOOO!" which is like what we would say for "BRRRR!!" Then it was time for them to leave and they all gave me kisses on my cheek. OH YEAH and earlier we made 60 packets of instant noodles for her 20 kids and my 10. They ate quite a bit! She took the rest home to give them for breakfast. ha ha! Sorry I have no pictures of the event. But it was fun!
