January 7, 2013 -- Monkeying Around :)

Today was a beautiful day here in Taiwan! There was a big group of people that came to help with the babies today so we got some extra time to take babies for a walk today and have some more time to ourselves which very rarely happens :) We walked around the lake after lunch and saw some monkeys!! There were a ton of them high up in the trees! We were trying to take pics and video of the them so our necks were really sore from looking straight up for a long time :) But they were fascinating to watch! I also made my mom try their ice cream here. We both got pineapple flavor. It is very different, but good!

Today was bath day here so it was a really busy morning! I love bath days....the babies smell so good and clean!! Makes me feel like I accomplished something :) One of the volunteers today said, "your boy sure has a fun personality!"

Grayson is doing great! He LOVES to jump around a lot. He is also scooting on his tummy, but can only turn in circles. He hasn't figured out how to move forward or backward yet. I am trying to talk him in to waiting until we get home to do that so Daddy can watch! He loves to be scared and thinks its funny. He giggled in his sleep, which was sooooo adorably cute. Hoping we can get home soon so he can meet everyone!

Prayer request:

We are allowed to call on Wednesday (Indiana Time - Tuesday night) to make sure the judge received our paperwork from the Taipei office. Please pray that our paperwork makes it there. Also pray that the judge will rule on it quickly and issue our first decree!......that would just be icing on the cake if that were to all happen in the same week!!! Please be in prayer specifically throughout Tuesday evening! Will keep you all updated!
