Today we took the girls for a stroll after breakfast. We stopped and looked in some of the local shops today. There is a lot of construction work going on in this area right now and many of the shops we visited in 2006 are no longer here. The girls were just too restless for us to do much shopping so we returned to our room. They played in the room with Daddy while Mommy went back out shopping. I purchased some squeaky shoes for Hope today. The shoes I had brought along on this trip are just too big for her to walk around in. In fact most of the clothes I brought are big on her. Hope has not taken a nap the past three days but she has been sleeping through the night for us. She still doesn’t want to sleep in the crib. I think she is enjoying her freedom. I am sure she has spent more than enough time in her crib at the orphanage. She is learning that the highchair and bib indicate it is time to eat. Holly told me today that they don’t have enough sisters and we need to get another Hope…. Hannah and Holly seemed to be adjusting very well to their new sister. Cordelia brought by some more White Flower Oil that we had asked her to purchase for us. She told us that she had picked up Hope’s notary documents and passport this afternoon. Tomorrow is our US consulate appointment. She will take all of our documents to the Consulate for us. We must wait in our room by the phone in the morning in case they have any questions for us. Just four more nights and we will be home!!
