We are in the home stretch

We have had sunny skies the last few days. What a world of difference in all of the kids. We brought the carry pack with us the last few days to see if Nate would go for it and he does. He is a little heavy for it but it will get us through the airport on the way to the USA. He liked it so well that he fell asleep for the last 30 min. of our visit. Alayna has figured out how to work our camera, which is good and bad. She does well with picture taking, but she is told NO when she wants to take off with it by herself which causes a litte pouting. We both can't wait for her to learn a little more English. We do have the basics down now though so we can communicate for bathroom needs. She has also begun to drink her milk that she never would do, but that is with the help of Nestle Quick, thank goodness for the rabbit. When I went to get Nate yesterday morning a doctor was in examining all the kids, it is amazing what they use for equiptment. A baby had a tablespoon put in its mouth for a tongue depressor. Poor kid was screaming and gagging so much. We need to show them the popsicle stick. Here is a short touching story, Christina a girl in Alayna's group who is 6 years old was going to be sent to another orphanage due to her age by the end of summer. Well her dreams came true yesterday when a Spanish lady came in and met her. She has since decided to adopt her. This little girls face was priceless when asked is she going to be your mother and she smiled and says yes! Talk to you all tomorrow. A & C
