Today was a different day than we had planned. We were going to go to the Safari Park this morning, but our friends daughter got very sick in the night, so we stayed here. You can pray for the Herne family. Their little Stella threw up all through the night and Melissa, the mom, is not feeling well either. They both went to a western doctor this morning. So, we watched their other two sweet daughters, Elsa and Ava. Kind of an interesting thing is while Elsa and Ava were in our room, Emma kind of locked up. I was surprised because she has spent a lot of time with them, but they came into her territory and she didn't know how to handle that. Makes me wonder how she will handle going home and meeting a bunch of strangers. We swam at the pool with them this morning and Emma really liked the pool today! She was giggling a lot and really smiling! I ran up to the room to get the camera, but when I got back, the moment was gone. It had started to rain (it actually poured on them) and she was done being in the pool.
During nap time, Matt and Sydney went to the park that we went to the other day. It's hard to describe all of the stuff that they have there and pictures don't do it justice, but it is really cool! Got some cool pictures of Sydney there.
We had to try a different formula for Emma today. The formula we have been giving her here has been giving her really runny diapers. Her poor bottom is really sore. Makes me sad to see her hurt!
This afternoon, we went back to Shamain Island and got some fun pictures and did some more shopping. We ate at Lucy's again and Callie was loving it. :)
Thank you sooooo much for all the prayers and love and support you have given us while we are here!!!! We so appreciate it!!! I love to hear from all of you! Even though we are having a good time here, I am getting really ready to get home!
Tomorrow, we go to court early in the morning to make Emma officially ours! Big day!!!
Thanks for the walk down memory lane. We loved being on Shamian Island! It's so beautiful there, and the statues are so fun. The "danger" sign makes me laugh. We took pictures of the odd signs while we were there too. :) Tomorrow's a big day, as Emma becomes an official "Allmand." YAY!! I'm so happy for you guys. Enjoy the rest of your trip - you'll treasure it forever.
