Phoebe & I got up at 6:30am & had to high tail it to make it to breakfast at 7am...neither one of us are morning people & we don't move very fast upon waking :o) After breakfast we headed to the O but did not get there in time to see the kids before they went to school. We did "peek" into their classrooms though. Phoebe & I spent some time downstairs with Shakira & then I headed up to the nursery. I spent some one on one time loving on Caleb & then Jonathan, Jamesely, Rebecca, & Sara. Phoebe took over for me on that part so I could start the head to toe assessments on the children. I checked out all the nursery children who aren't in school in the morning & then assessed the older children in the afternoon. It was a busy but very productive day for me. Before heading back to the guest house I had a little time to love on Noah, Ellie, Fritzon, & Daniel.
We brought Caleb, Samara, & Shakira back with us Friday night. It was quite a production but something that both Phoebe & I need to get use to :o) The guest house was pretty full the entire week we were there so I had Caleb(was in a pack n play), Samara, & Shakira sleep out on the balcony which worked well except for when Shakira woke up once during each of the nights that she was there(around 2-3am) & couldn't find me on a top bunk so she went to the lady with dark hair on the bottom bunk & shook her arm & said, "Mama, Mama, Mama." The lady was very good with her & then she woke me up so I could get Shakira back to sleep again.

How nice to have a guest house. We pay a lot for a hotel but at least they don't charge for the twins.
all those kids at the guest house sounds like . . . fun! :) keep the stories coming; i love reading them!
Kathy...the guest house is not associated with the O & guests currently pay $50 a night. We pay a very reduced rate for our adoptive children to stay overnight.
Angela...fun or chaotic...which ever way you want to look at it :o)
Great pictures!! I'm not sure how you were able to take such great pictures with your hands so full! Can't wait to hear more.
Thanks for taking time to love on my boy! I love reading about your time, so keep it coming!
