Half way? - Day 3

What? Half way through the week? We had a great day today! The morning was beautiful and we spent it outside. Did I mention how much she loves to swing... I mean like 30 minutes at a time! At least, right now, we have nothing better to do than swing!! She had lots of her friends out today with us. It is so interesting to watch the children together. They compete for everything, from toys to food! So, it may take awhile to teach her that she will no longer need to do that when we eventually get to take her home!

We spent a little time souvenir shopping today. There is not the abundance of souvenir shops here, so it has been a little difficult to find what we want. Apparently, B is very known for rose (oil, lotion, perfume, everything!) however, pure rose oil is VERY expensive! We have found a few things for the kids and I am trying to find things to give N over the years. Things are not as cheap as you would think so I am having trouble here also! But I have found a few small things. 

In the afternoon we went back to the orphanage and visited again. However, it was raining so going outside was not an option. This is horrible, because the room we get to visit in is TINY!! Like maybe 6'x8'. It the size of a nice bathroom, with a bench and a small table and a few chairs. So not much room to do anything. Ugh. We ended up going up and down stairs and chasing her through the hallway. 

I really hope and pray the weather is better tomorrow! I think we get to sign the papers verifying that we accept Natalie as our daughter! That will be so exciting!!! It will be so so hard to leave her here on Friday! Not thinking about it yet!

OMG. Forgot to tell about something I saw for the first time! Remember that I am easily amused! Apparently, a hundred or so years ago someone brought 100 Redwood Trees to B and planted them and they have continued to grow in the mountain!
I know you are jealous!

Here are some pictures from today!

Oh and look what I finally found! Maybe not one every corner, but at least on one!!!
