Day 1 of 10


We went to the orphanage around 1100. We needed to fill out a petition that would allow us to get the boys each day this week – it is fall break for school! We picked up the boys and walked back to the hotel. We found out that the boys can go to town whenever they want to. If they are going to be gone for a meal they need to let the caretakers know. So they have walked this route many times – I thought we were giving them a new experience!!!

We taught the boys to play Rumikub – a tile rummy game. Olas helped us – he has a great sense of humor and he is very competitive. The boys loved the game and we didn't need to speak the same language to play!

Elliott had to leave a little early because he had a league basketball game. So he left about 40 minutes before we had to take Nicky back. Elliott wanted to walk back alone – he knew the way and he had done it many times. Kathie stayed at the hotel and I walked Nicky home around 5:30. He wanted to lead and show me the way he goes to the orphanage. He is so independent!!! I’ll bet he feels like he is adopting us!!! I guess it is all in your point of view.

Dave and Kathie!

Awesome stuff - you guys are so cool. We had fun at your house for Jen Wilkes' bridal shower, but it just wasn't the same without you. Your wood floors look awesome. And those boys are going to love your leather couch...

Love Betsy
