Pictures

After a wild game of "Hide and Seek" tonight, led by the very brave "Auntie Trudy"
(another adopting mom here at the guest house where we are staying)
the kids are now fed and settled in.
Hide and seek was quite fun to watch....as John had never played and could not get the hang of "staying" in a spot until he was found. When he did, he kept laughing, so he gave himself away quickly.

The D kids and the B kids are all lined up on my bed watching "Jungle Book 2" on the DVD player.
Dave and Jim sit and chat, so I thought I would grab this moment to upload some pics for you all.
Each one takes about 4-7 mins....so lets see how many I can get before one of the kids need something from the room next door.
Ohhhhhh, note for the day.
Jim, Dave and I went to the book store today and got great curriculum books for the kids.
(the kids got to stay with Trudy and watch a movie, color and eat choc chip cookies that she braved making with measurment guessing and interesting ingred's...they worked and were a HIT!)

We found great books, like the kind they sell in the USA, but CHEAP!
Now John and Victoria have all the books they need to jump in when we get home.The ones we brought with us and the ones we got from Beacon House are almost done.
They will sit for hours and color and do the work books....excited to see that continue at home.
Then we went to the BAKERY...Yeah and Hip Hip Hooray! Jim and I bought Bagels..yes real bagels and muffins....Dave of course is not a "bread" person, so he got a good laugh at us.
We then walked back from there to our guest house....about 3-5 miles
(I am guessing, but it was a good long walk...addiing more sun and color to my WA body )
Being very hot and a bit tired, I decided to use my cherished bagels to make tuna sandwiches for dinner...deciding NOT to cook! They were very good!
So, that is a day in the life of a mom and two dads who are filling their time while the days go by.
Here are some pics for you!

Daddy and John...being Daddy and John!


John and Victoria on the path back to our room at the coast.
Even though they are not bio siblings, they really treat eachother very kindly and sibling "like". It is awesome to see how God is knitting them together.


FEET!
(just a cute pic with a lot of good memories to go with it!)

Blessings to all of you!
Movie is done and off to bed they all go!
