Day 10









Only 3 more days and we get to see our family and friends!!!!! Today we had to stay in the hotel room from 9:30-11:30 while our guide went to our consulate appointmemt and turned in all our paperwork for Brooklyns visa into the US. We had to stay by the phone in case they had any questions. Everything went great. The last thing we do is tomorrow, we have the swearing in ceremony. We promise to always take care of Brooklyn in front of a judge(I think). Later this afternoon we are going shopping again as a group to Shamain Island. This has been kind of a lazy day, which in kind of nice. Last night we ordered Papa Johns pizza and ate went friends down the hall. Pizza never tasted so good. A lot of the couples here have been sick. Scott and I have been pretty fortunate, only a few minor problems. Most of the 9 babies from the other orphanage have all been sick with colds. Luckily Brooklyn is very healthy!

Have a great week! We love you Brandon, Brittany, Brady and Bryce and all our family and friends!

Have you guys ordered from Danny's Bagel yet? They deliver to your hotel and they have great macaroni and cheese and chicken noodle soup. Remember if anyone is pretty sick, there is a clinic in the White Swan Hotel. The visit and any meds is around $30 and is WORTH IT!!!! You guys look so wonderful and Brooklyn gets more beautiful everyday!!! I can't wait to see her. Try and get some rest before your flight home. It's brutal. Love, Denene

I love the way Brooklyn spreads her arms out, like "here I am world" and she feels so secure. thanks to all the love she's feeling from her mom and dad. Three more days. We can hardly wait. It sure seems empty around here without Brittany. But I know she'll like the change. I';m going to visit Charles tomorrow after the boys get off to school. Can't wait to see you all. Love, Mom Alice.

I'm glad to see you guys are teaching her good eating habits. She now not only knows how to use a cell phone, but she's hooked on McDonald's as well. Great.
