Visit-day 2

Today was our second visit with Sweetie at the Children's Home.  It started a little rough, but then got much better.  When we first saw Sweetie, she basically shut down.  She would not respond to us or even the center director.  We were worried but continued as if everything was OK.  We played with bubbles and then she got interested in some legos.  Once she started playing with the legos, she gestured that she wanted something from the coffee table.  I put her down so she could reach it and then I sat on the floor.  She then turned to me and made a motion like "hey, sit back on the couch and pick me up".  Later she let Mike pick her up and carry her around.  He had brought a banana for her from breakfast and got it out.  At first she did not want it and so he started eating.  Then she opened her mouth like a baby bird.  Mike fed her the rest of the banana and then he was her friend.  She laughed and played with him.  Toward the end of the visit we got to hear her voice.  She told me she had to go to the bathroom, which I did not understand.  She led me to it.  Yeah...  potty trained.  Then we sat down and looked at a book.  I pointed to pictures, said the English word, and she repeated it to me.  Mike says she likes him better, but it IS NOT TRUE!!  We had a great visit, a made it over a hurdle.  Can't wait to bring her with us!

It is actually 2:30AM here.  I woke up and could not go back to sleep.  I started to panic about some of our paperwork.  We had a meeting with the US embassy and although it went well, it just reminded me of all the hurdles we still have ahead of us.  So now that I am up and sent an email, I saw how fast the internet is in the middle of the night.  Thought I would try to post some pictures before going back to bed.  Here our some cool pictures of Nepal.  There was a wedding party coming down the street right as we were leaving.  Hope you can get the feel for it through these pics...

I think this is the bride.  Isn't she beautiful?

Ok, as I am previewing this it shows 2 of the cow pictures.  It will not just let me delete one cow picture.  Since this is my first time posting pictures on Blogger, I'm pretty happy with it.
Namaste,
