We have met the children -- they are beautiful! We're checking about posting pictures. We met a wonderful couple from Alabama. They are staying here in the hotel with us and teaching us a lot. They've been here for 3 weeks. We share a ride to the orphanage daily. Both younger children are already calling us Ma-ma and pa-pa. :) Elijah is in another orphanage about 45 km away. We will not get to see him again until Tuesday. Sorry to be so quick -- we do not have internet access. We are borrowing this computer right now. Hope to be hooked up again by Tuesday. Did I mention that the children are beautiful!

Aunt Missy and Uncle Rick,

This is great news. Me and Troy have shared this blog with our friends and our classes at school. We can't wait to hear more from you. We've found some more toys that we think our new cousins will have fun playing with. I got my hair cut today at the same place Missy goes to.

Love, Rachel

This is great news and I can't wait to hear more. I'm curious as to why one of the boys is at another location.

Just wanted to also let you know, Missy, that your alma mater, the OU Bobcats, gave the Buckeyes a run for their money today. They were actually leading for the second and third quarters, finally falling behind in the 4th quarter. If you say O-H over there, does anyone say I-O? : )

GCHS got shut out again.

Take care and looking forward to hearing more! We can't wait to see the pictures.

Love and prayers - Cindy

Melissa and Rick ,I can feel the power of "Ma-Ma" and "Pa-Pa" comes out from the children. I can't image that . My tear must "shoot" out when I hear "ma-ma"..... I 'm so excited!!!!!!
