Our time in Cebu

We had a wonderful week in Cebu and just got back yesterday. For pics of the wonderful packages that were waiting for us and the story of our visit to the ER, be sure to check the post below this one. Mikayla had the distinct honor of being crowned "queen of the week" for her exceptional behavior and kindness to others throughout our time there. There was only once king and one queen, and we are so proud of her! The kids put on a program at the end of the week, and these were the shirts and hats they made for the occasion.
We found some amazing starfish in the ocean while we were there. They were huge! The kids had fun learning about these cool creatures.

Zach got himself a "girl friend" while we were there. Beth Ann is a sweet girl, and the 2 of them did everything together. This morning when he woke up, Zach said, "I miss my girl friend". I think he calls her his girlfriend because he can't remember her name. :)
Here were some interesting questions we got asked by the nurses during our visit to the ER. 1) Did you bring some towels so we can give him a sponge bath? 2) Did you bring his tylenol so we can give him some more? 3) Will you admit him tonight? With the first two, we kind of thought they may have those things at the ER and with the last one, we kind of thought the Dr should decide whether or not to admit him, not us.

It's great to see that you all are home safe and hopefully feeling better. Nichole and I would love to spend more time getting to know you all better. Ben was an absolute blessing for Nichole and she still tears up everytime she starts telling people about him.

Zach and Mikayla were just wonderful to ba around all the time and their teachers talked about them all the way home.

Thanks for allowing us the opportunity to keep up with your family with these stories and images and we look forward to many more along with the possibility to visit with you while you are stateside.

Lots of love!
Brandon and Nichole
