Howdy All,
Today was the usual. We visited with Marina and took walks. The care-givers had her dressed in a new outfit we bought for her. It is a 6-9 month and still a bit big. But, she still looks so cute. Plus, our friend who is here gave us the bow for her hair and mom was just thrilled and could not wait to put it in Marina's hair. Not that we are partial or anything, but isn't she just adorable!!! The highlight of Lonnie's day was when Marina puked all over me when I was playing with her. He made sure to take his time cleaning her up and just laughing at me. I keep waiting for Lonnie to have to change a poopy diaper, but that hasn't happened during our visits yet. Tomorrow we have only one visit from 10-12, as it is Sunday. We will probably venture to market to try and find maybe one or two more outfits for Marina. I figure that all the outfits we buy here, I will donate to the orphanage, for they will be put to good use.
Lonnie is still having a few issues with his belly and my one tooth has been feeling a bit off, but I am hoping all will return to normal. We are faring well with Lonnie's cooking and mom's organization. This evening we saw a wedding reception come into our hotel. It was interesting to watch, as we were outside waiting to be picked up. There were a lot of Mercedes in the wedding party. Lonnie enjoyed checking out the cars.
Well, supper is cooking and I am pretty tired. Adjusting to the time zone difference is really difficult....I think we are all still a bit off with it.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers. We think of you all often. Can't wait to be home.
love,
all of us

Hi everyone! We got back from the beach on Thursday and I couldn't wait to check for an update and there it was! She is absolutely adorable and I can tell she has everyone wrapped already by all the smiles -- but with that cute face how could you not be!! It sounds like all is well and things are rolling along as expected. Love the pics!
