This can be an exhausting process. We have two very active children under age 5! One doesn't speak English. We are in a country where we can't speak the language, we can't drive to a restaurant to get the food we want and we aren't on the right time zone yet. But, today was a good day. We went to Walmart and bought Shaun a few new clothes. He is definitely a size 4T. And we bought a few things for the orphanage. Shaun found a basketball while we were at Walmart. It was about $4.50 in USD so we can afford to leave it behind.

Shaun has learned a new word in English. He knows the word "MINE". He talks all the time. Sydney has cracked her head on Shaun's head, on the table and her neck on the corner of the end table. When he gets mad at Mommy he yells "Ma Peite" or something like that. But he also looked at me once and said "Mama". And, as you can tell from the pictures, he likes his daddy.

Tomorrow I'm going to visit the orphanage. Brian has volunteered to stay at the hotel with the kids. He thinks that Shaun is doing so well that he doesn't want to risk a setback. And Sydney had a nightmare last night so we are going to just send me. Hopefully Daddy won't regret this decision.
