A couple novelties we have noticed with the girls...
1. Flip Flops- they have no idea how to walk in them!
2. Gum-we realized they were eating it so we show them how to actually chew gum
3. Warm water- both washing hands and the shower. The hotel brought us a little baby tub since we only have a shower, tonight they both got in and played in it for about an hour. They kept saying caliente (warm)
4. New socks- they look surprised every morning when we get out clean socks
5. Computer- (The French girls taught them how to play a simple computer game, they loved it)
6. Dora DVD's (It actually taught them to count to 10 in English yesterday)
7. Pop- Tatiana's eyes got huge the first time we gave her a drink, then she giggled like crazy and rubbed her chest.
They have been so much fun, we are seeing much more of their personalities come out as the days go by. Kathrine is happy all the time. Tatiana has her ups and downs, this morning she had those sad eyes again which make me cry, but she never does, but about an hour later she was playing and giggling. Sorry about the one picture, I could not read the Spanish on our computer to rotate the picture, just turn your head. :)

The girls are truely beautiful! I am so impressed with all of the pictures, but now we need one of just the happy family!
ReplyDeleteI am sitting here amazed at how God works. Just think, over six years ago when God was forming Tatiana he already had you in mind to be her parents. Awesome.
I tried to explain to Bryson that you were bringing home two girls that speak Spanish, so he has been telling me the words he knows. (Also, thanks to Dora!)
Really, I can't wait for you all to come home!
