The Orphanage




We thought we would show a few pictures of the orphanage today. It snowed last night for the first time. They said that this is late for their winter to begin? The first picture is the outside of the orphanage which was done yesterday before it snowed. The second is today looking out our window at the park behind us. The third is showing the room where we play with the babies during our time there. Basically we get to the orphanage, take off our shoes and go get the baby. He is in room #3. After getting the baby we take a blanket and go to the room you see. We meet there with the other three couples that are here right now. Then we proceed with play time for the next two hours. Everyone should try playing with your child 4 hours daily Ha Ha... Needless to say we need a little nap after.. Oh, Brody's stats. He weighs 17lbs. His birthday is 3/5/07. He has been at the orphanage since he was 5 days old. We don't really have a height measurement yet? And No Telly we don't have a shoe size yet for his new Air Jordan's. Feel free to send multiple sizes..

OMG This is the kind of pictures we really enjoy.. Play time looks a little like grams house Lisa.
the children look wonderful. It is a very comforting site to see all of you together wth your new babies. I bet you wish you could have a housefull HA HA. How our the dads doing? Is Brody's personality starting to surface? Is feeding time getting more easy? I'm sure you and tige are doing a beautiful job bonding with him. Does he cry much or try to talk(baby language of course) or pick up anything with his hands? That snow looks great,,pretty cold here too. Have a wonderful day together Talk to ya soon. Love mom and dad

I love the pics! The orphanage is nothing like Little Orphan Annie had it, or Oliver. Do they really sit behind them with the bowl under their mouths and shovel it in? LOL Does he walk around holding onto your fingers? I can't believe how stinkin cute he is. I WANNA BABYSIT!!!

Hi Lisa and Tige. The pictures you are sending are great. Shaun thinks the baby is soooo cute! He also said, "YES another boy cousin. Boys rule and gilrs drool!" (that's what he is learnig in Kindergarten). Kira wants to go shopping and has already picked out some toys for him. Is their anything in particular you know you might want or need? You know Kira, Jen and I are always up for shopping. We also had a question for you. How did you choose Brody over the other babies? Stay safe!
Love, Christine, Mark & kids
