Shopping Day

Today our guide took us out shopping at various markets nearby. We bought DVD’s for under $2 each, pearls, beads, new shoes and underwear for Caleb, ate lunch at Pizza Hut and then shopped some more. We bought a lot of Christmas presents and then ate dinner at McDonald’s. Bob, our guide stayed with us all day. He is a great guy, and we have appreciated his help and friendship. Caleb has definitely decided that Daddy is “the man”. If he can have Daddy, he really doesn’t want the rest of us. They have a lot of fun playing and it is wonderful to watch the connection that they have. Caleb is beginning to talk more and it is really amazing how much he understands all ready. He is starting to repeat some words, and we have no doubt the boy will be talking a blue streak before we know it. We are all a bit exhausted from all the shopping we did today. We hope to attend a Christian church nearby tomorrow, but are not sure what kind of church nor what to expect. We are still in awe and wonder at what an incredible blessing God has given us in our son. It has also been a pleasant surprise to find out he is also so much fun! We found out he was born in the year of the monkey and we believe that. He loves to climb things. Have a great day. Thanks for all your prayers.
