We are happy to have moved into our new room. It makes all the difference in the world to be in a bright, large space. Moving yesterday was a bit of a challenge with Caleb and Julia, but well worth it. Oh, and the family from Boston left, Caleb saw them carrying their suitcases out of the hotel and started crying saying “Old home..airplane!”. It was so pitiful. But, he only has about 8 days left in Petro and then he too will get to go back to his old home!
Let’s see, we have taken Caleb and Julia to the playground at the baby house the last couple of days. Julia adores the swing, and Caleb the sand box. Caleb also made some friends with the Kazakh “kids”. Julia is adjusting fairly well. She does cry every time we put her down for a nap or bedtime, but every night it is less crying, so we know we are heading in the right direction. Julia is also eating everything in sight, salami, kiwi, cheese, oranges, yogurt etc…She is not a big fan of baby food, so we just do table food and some formula mostly. She LOVES bath time; she is a crazy girl in the bath tub! One more day is gone and we are thankful for our blessings. Enjoy the pictures of our day. Oh, and notice that Caleb is now back on the bottle :)
love the swing pictures and julia in her diaper! hang in there with the naptime/bedtime crying. you're right...you are moving in the right direction. it's hard to just walk away and let them cry, but you know it's better to let them learn how to go to sleep on their own. julia looks so incredibly happy...what a lucky, blessed, picked by the hand of our lord, little girl. i just look at her and cry knowing that our mighty savior (mighty to save!) planned her life out long ago! she sounds so much like gwyneth to me. i hope they will be life-long friends. :) that little caleb...he's cracking me up with the crawling, the passy, bottle, etc. all normal, becoming a big brother kind of stuff. what a funny boy! big hugs to all of you...all of you! ~ dawn

What a happy girl! She and Caleb will make quite a team ~ watch out Mama and Dada. Hmmm....2 spirited children :) It will be an exhausting and wonderful adventure.
