Yesterday!

Today we had Cassidy's Physical Exam for the Consulate Appointment which is on Monday. We are pleased to report that other than a raspy little cold she is in great health. Her Buddha belly is featured here in her bathing suit. I think she weighs exactly what her brother did at her age, and we all know he was a little round human as well. She wears 18 months clothes and mommy is having a blast dressing her up really girly.

She continues to come out of her shell a little more each day. We took her in the pool today, which she did not like when we were at the other hotel, but today she liked it and she almost fell asleep in my arms in the water. She learned how to give me 5 and really laughed while watching Daddy and Big Brother swim. She is really just too sweet for words. I hope as she continues to trust us, so that she will open up enough to actually catch her smile on camera. She is always very serious when we bring the camera around but when you see it, her smile will melt you.

Connor is being such a trooper. We walked several blocks today in this incredible heat and humidity and he only complained a little. He worries about Cassidy when she is sweaty, when she needs a nap and still worries about if Dad and I are hurting her when we give her basic care. We found the Starbucks today, their version of a Chai Tea Latte is a bit different than ours in the US but it was STILL a nice treat, not surprisingly we stumbled across many of the families in our group there too.

We miss everyone and look forward to getting back to our world- the countdown to come home is ON.
