Time keeps marching on

Yep! Almost a month since my last post! Where has the time gone?! This much I know to be true...if you weren't a "good bloggie blogger" before the baby came, you most likely won't be after the baby comes!" My poor disillusioned brain.
Well, if I keep going on the last post and go to the next day that I left off with when we were in ET I will gloss over Wednesday, October 29, that rainy Embassy day, and move onto Thursday...the day we visited Kids Care and Gelgela...orphanages our kids came from (E. came from Kids Care). Oh! And Metro Pizza...the BEST pizza place in the world (at least we think so!).
Here are some pictures from this day...

Driving up to Kids Care

Inside the gatesAster, the founder of Kids CareI love this shot...a picture can be worth a thousand words...

We really liked our driver, Samuel

The room E. first came to

I've just found out that this sister remembers E. and she told us that he was so dehydrated that he had an IV in his head like the one baby in the picture above...a very hard moment for us...

Just so cute I had to include it...Robel, E. and DietrichToo cute! These kids threw out one toy from the window, which Dietrich promptly ran over and picked up...well, threw back in. Do you think it stopped there? If you did, then you don't know children! Next thing we knew, quite a few toys were being flung out of the window! It was hilarious!And last, but surely not least...Metro Pizza! We couldn't get enough of this pizza! Amazing how many slices you can eat with one hand (while the other clutches a sleeping baby) if you really want to!
We even went back there for lunch the next day while we were out running around doing last minute things before leaving. We had been out all morning and were so hungry. We (families) said how about Metro Pizza? Robel promptly said, "No! Tex-Mex!" We said no way! He tried to fight us all, but in the end went to Metro because we were "persuasive." (meaning--you pay if we go to Tex-Mex or we pay if we go to Metro...it worked! LOL)

Well, I hope you've enjoyed the pictures....brings back some very good memories...some hard as well though...but good. I'll have to put up a few recent pics soon...or add a couple at the end here. Oh! OK! Here are some from yesterday...
We decorated the tree ! E's first time, of course.

Yep! Look who's sitting up...not Annika and Nena! The baby of course! Now, if we could just get him to sleep through the night...any helpful suggestions out there from the people in "Bloggerville"? For a mom that had her other 3 sleeping through the night some where around 6 or 9 weeks, this is just about killing me! LOL Maybe I should just count how many weeks we've had him and let that put thing into perspective...4 weeks ain't long...guess I just need to keep plugging away...and literally plugging his mouth with a bottle every 3 hours for a bit longer. :)
P.S. Thanks again, Jori, for the cute onesie! Our little guy would make a very cute girl... I just had to put him on the pink rosette blanket for these pics!!! Too funny!
