Day 22

The main road was blocked off today for a little street fair along with bands playing on a stage.  It was a little warmer but we didn't stay out for long.  We don't have a stroller and Caleb can only take walking so much.  I was able to get a video of Peyton and Caleb getting in the elevator but the lighting is bad so it is a little dark.  You will hear the happiness though.

They are doing better than we could have expected.  I think they are doing better than we are.  We are sooo done and ready to be home.  They, on the other hand, are just going with the flow even though it is rather boring in our apartment.   

Thanks to those of you that gave me the info about going to starfall.com so that Peyton can learn the alphabet.  She is doing so well with it.  Caleb even chimes in sometimes saying the letters and words.

I have been thinking alot about the kids that we left behind at the orphanage.  I have had people say to me but Tina you can't save them all.  I know that but I got so attached to the kids in Peyton's group that it is hard to just let them go knowing how hard life will probably be for them.  I just want them to have a better life.  I know that God is in control and these kids are His kids so I will just keep praying for them.  And, who knows, maybe I will see them again someday.  I sure would like that.

  1. www.abcmouse.com is fun as well. It might be better for Caleb since it starts at pre-k.
