Happy Birthday to Nana Kellie!! We miss you so much! We got a zebra cake and put a candle in it just for you-- there is a picture below of us celebrating!
So the one piece of food Taiwan is amazing at making is WAFFLES! Some visitors brought the kids waffles and tea today! I was sooooo excited we got to eat the waffles as they are one of my favorite foods and they are so good here! Not sure what they put on them, but its delicious :) ........and they are gigantic.
Today was a beautiful day outside. It was sunny and perfect weather so the kids were outside all day long since it has rained for almost a week now. There was a game of basketball going on with the boys and the girls were gossiping and laughing :) I got to spend some time talking or at least trying to communicate with some of the girls here. They were telling me that a huge monkey comes to the orphanage and steals the fruit sometimes and to not walk down the lane by myself because it is usually in the trees here. The kids are not suppose to go outside of the "fence" since the monkey is a little crazy and large! I was a little concerned after hearing this because I walk down the lane daily with Grayson just to get out and get some fresh air, so it looks like I will not be doing that anymore! :) bummer.
A lot of the older kids here play instruments and are incredibly talented at them! One girl plays the piano like I have never heard before! She was practicing in the room next to the nursery so we took the babies in there to watch her play........like a little concert. They loved it! Every time she stopped playing they would start crying which was hilarious :) I think she felt a little "trapped" as she ended up playing for quite a while.
Supper was pretty good. The "cooks" are not here on Sunday's so Ted cooked everyone supper tonight. He cooked sweet-n-sour pork, noodles, fruit, rice, cabbage, and something else (not quite sure what is was?). Overall it was very good!
Please continue to pray for us to get our first decree soon. Technically we shouldn't get it for about 3 more weeks, but we are hoping for a quicker turn around as we would like to be home for Christmas?
Love to all!
~Lindsay & Grayson
