Day 13.............................

Dylan was in charge of the camera today, and took so many wonderful pictures, it was hard to decide what to put on the blog!! It only lets me do 5 at a time, so here we go.....
This is my sweet little Anaya Jackelin, and at the orphanage, she was called "yackie" (Because they don't say their J's that is what it sounded like when they called her Jackie!) But, we have affectionately been calling her "Yuckie" because of her sweaty little head! It is the most peculiar thing, within a few minutes of drinking her bottle, (which she likes quite warm~will NOT drink it if its not warm enough!)her head starts sweating profusely!! I'm talking buckets! It is amazing how you can see the sweat starting to bead up on her forehead and nose and by the time she is done, my arm is soaked from her sweaty little head!! We took this picture to show how yuckie it is! It is so wet it stands on end! Silly baby girl!
We went out for breakfast today, and this little cafe had the most beautiful gardens and fountains! It is amazing how beautiful things are here!!
Anaya eating her yogurt, she pushes her tongue in and out like a little lizard!(Dylan took several shots in order to get this one!! He is such an awesome big brother!)

Easton and Anaya watching our nightly movie together! What fun memories are being made here! Although it is hard to be away from home and especially Ryan, we are thankful for this opportunity, and pray we learn, and soak up all we are meant to while we are here!
