I miss, but I like…

Occasionally, when we first got here and were feeling particularly homesick, we would play a game called “I miss”. We would go around in a circle and say what we missed from back home. After we were here for a while, to make it a little healthier for the girls, we changed it to “I miss… but I like” so we could talk about the good things here too. Here’s a peek in at our last game… hope you enjoy… :)
