What an adventure today! We went to the orphanage where Anrea has spent her first two years of her life. She seemed very happy there in her own enviroment, with the nannies. The orphanage seemed very clean, and there was 5 or 6 nannies to the babies in this room. If you haven't guessed yet, the empty crib was Anrea's. I will attach pics of some of the babies that we got to see. There were 18 babies in her room alone, but 300 in the whole orphanage. The director told us that some are very mentally retarded, and disfigured. Very sad. We got to interact with the babies there, it was nap time, and most of them was asleep, but some were awake. The old folks home is there also, but we didn't get to go inside it. Anrea seems to be teething some, she has a runny nose, which is clear and wants to chew on stuff. It is Wednesday evening here about 5:30pm. Anrea is becoming a toddler, into everything. It just stinks all the time over here. No grass any where. No animals either. Well, better go and feed the bottomless pit........

She looks perfect! Kaylee can't wait to play with her. I would get in trouble for trying to take another one....so. many beds. I am glad ya'll found a Burger King. I am sure Brian will help Jerry gain his weight back once ya'll come home. Nothing like the firehall cooking for some weight gain;-). Brian has been mopey since ya'll have been gone, something about work not being fun. Having to supplement work with duck hunting. Can't wait for ya'll to get home and meet Anrea
Take care. Dona and Brian
