Today is another day to savor just
getting know each other…other than missing my boys back at home so
much…I am really thankful for this “down time” – pure free
time to just love on these kids. Other than hand washing our clothes
(and attempting to dry – you should see our laundry adorned room
right now!) – we really have enjoyed this time. I am starting to
get antsy…but so thankful to God that we have this time carved out
to bond with Brooke and help Erica with this transition to big
sister.
Today Yo-yo stopped by for us to
confirm all our final documents so then we were off to the pool to
swim with some other adoptive families we have met in the adjacent
hotel. The kids all had so much fun. It is always amazing to hear
everyone’s story and the ministry they have in their sphere of
influence. All God’s children – these now with a forever family!
We hope to connect again with the two families who live in
Indianapolis (one lives just 6 blocks from my mom and dad).

| Ready for the day!! Happy girl :) |
 |
| Erica has started playing a fun game with Brooke- she will hide behind one of these columns and Brooke will RUN around to find her! |
 |
| Here Brooke comes.. |
 |
| FOUND HER!!! |
 |
| Pure JOY! |
These families (traveling as a group
with Bethany) invited us to join them to tour the Temple famous to
the city. A Temple is a temple as we have seen several now and they
all share one common theme…a lost people seeking an ‘awakening’
(Larry rambling now) and the empty hope of a lost country. Most all
our drivers have a statue on their dash to enlighten them to their
“awakening” and serves as a reminder to us that people are
looking for eternal perspective in life, but they have not had the
message of eternal hope in Christ. Nonetheless, the architecture and
mystery of the temple are certainly interesting.

Brooke has become totally attached to
her ‘baba’…a daddy’s girl. If anyone but Larry attempts to
push the stroller Brooke quickly expresses her displeasure and will
attempt to keep him in sight at all times…really cute!
More tomorrow!!! Thank you for your
prayers!!
