More Pictures





Above are some more pictures from our journey out this morning. I'm sorry I haven't yet figured out how to label each individual picture. Each time we venture out we get better at navigating our way around the streets (and mopeds). We did a bit of shopping then found a Highlands Coffee (like Starbucks in the US) that overlooked the lake and we sat and relaxed for a while before doing a bit more shopping then returning to the hotel. I wanted to do a quick post now because it will be a busy afternoon and evening preparing to go the orphanages tomorrow. I have to get the diaper bag all packed and clothes gifts all ready. It's going to be an early morning for us. We leave the hotel @ 7a.m. for our 4-5 hour ride to the orphanage. It is going to be a very long day. We were told we probably wouldn't be back to the hotel until 6-7p.m. We are all getting very excited about finally getting our babies. So hopefully my next post will be pictures of Me & Maddie!

Loreen,
Following your blog has brought back such special memories for Joe and me. I keep telling Millie what is going on and she wants to come see you and Maddie. (Obviously she has forgotten the terribly long plane trip!) I know tomorrow will be forever etched in your memory. Savor every moment from her first breath in your arms to the first smile and most importantly the first time it is your body she falls into when she wants comfort. What a truly wonderful feeling.
Much love and anticipation for the upcoming photos,
Catherine
