Day 9 - More Photos :)

Hello! This morning we braved the bus to get to the orphanage. We were a little late because it took us an extra 1/2 hour to be able to get onto a bus. And it wasn't due to lack of trying! I'll try to get a photo this week - it is amazing how many people can fit inside one of these little buses! People waiting in line on the sidewalk - well, not really waiting in line, because when the bus pulls up - it is first shove, first served - so the people that don't make it onto a bus help out by pushing the door shut from the outside after the last person crams on! And I was worried about not wearing my seatbelt - ha!
We had about two hours to visit today in this itty bitty room - but thank goodness there were several toys to choose from. And there was a bat and a ball - his favorite thing! (well, a bowling pin for a bat - but hey, that works for our little guy - he's a real power hitter!). Note to self - do not bring PURPLE grape juice juicebox for a kid that has never used a straw (we stopped and got some white grape juice on the way home!). After our visit, we also enjoyed having lunch with the Reynolds family that is here from Tennessee. It is such a treat to have another family here who we can talk to. Ok, off to make some soup for dinner (thank goodness for Trader Joe's chicken broth packets!) even though it is 10 pm here. Our sleep schedules are still not 100% set - Grant and I just woke up from a 3 hour nap. So here's our little slugger:
