We had a great time last night getting together with the other families staying at The Garden. Before dinner we all met downstairs at 5:30pm to take a few pictures. Rebecca, our guide, had her husband come and take a group picture of all the families. Counting us there are six families in our group. It has been such a blessing getting to know them. Sam and Ellie have made some new friends too! Rebecca said she would get all of us a copy of the group picture. After that we got all the kids together. Betsy did not like the idea of me putting her down for the picture. I thought I was going to have to get in the picture with her. There were two other kids whose parents were having to hold them as well. Finally she decided she would sit with Sam. We snapped away and I got one pretty decent picture. When the picture taking was over we walked over to the restaurant. I said yesterday it was Italian, but I was wrong. We went to a Thai restaurant. The food was good. The menu was extremely large...so many choices. Todd got something really spicy with curry in it. His eyes were watering! After dinner we went to a different place for dessert. It was delicious! I had a cappucino with my dessert, which kept me up most of the night!! Usually caffeine doesn't bother me, but it did last night! This morning we met downstairs at 9:30am. We had to go back to the medical center so three of the six kids could have their arms checked where they did the TB test on Saturday. Betsy was one of the three. She cried when we walked in that room again and the woman looked at her arm. She thought they were going to stick her again...poor baby:( Our stop there was really quick, and we were on to shopping again!! Today we got lots of good deals on everything from shoes to tea sets...we had so much fun(at least I did...don't know about the boys;) Betsy LOVED trying on shoes! She tried on alot , and never complained. That's my girl!! We are back at the hotel now , and she is taking a nap. We literally shopped till we dropped!
Looks like you're having the time of your lives...as you should be! Savor every moment. It will surely be a trip you will treasure forever. Can't wait to see Betsy and love on her. Seems as though she's been part of your family forever...and in His perfect timing, she has been.
