Sorry for the delay in updates. We visited the orphanage yesterday and had a good visit with Jonas and his group. I am pretty sure these kids don’t see a lot of Men here. I started picking each of them up and spinning them, throwing them up and the air, etc. and you would have thought I just invented the light bulb. Every kid lining up for their turn on the Jason ride. I was quite popular. We did not get a lot of private time with Jonas, but it was a great visit anyway.
Today we are off to the market. We went Sunday afternoon and picked up a Jacket and some boots for Jonas. The boots fit, the jacket did not. We now know that Jonas is not a 36 jacket size (whatever that means). So we are off to try to exchange the jacket for a smaller size. We venturing off without a translator, so I hope I don’t end up accidentally buying another jacket :)

Glad things are going well, the market was so much fun for us. Can't wait to meet your boy! :)
Good luck at the market! We are going to "measure" Liera's foot today by tracing her bare foot on a piece of paper! :) I hope you end up with one coat that fits, not two that don't fit! Have fun! Jen
To market to market to buy a jacket, home again home again jiggety jig....good luck with the jacket and your on the town adventure. Hopefully Rosetta won't let you down :) I love your word picture about the kids being tossed up in the air. Some things are just universal! I wish someone was strong enough to throw me up in the air. Packing too many sausages these days. You guys have a great day and we are counting down the days. The prayers haven't stopped. Angie

Shopping at the market is always fun. We resorted to a tape measure for Mary, and got mostly right sizes that way.
Think you're exactly right on the 'not seeing many men' at the orphanage. Especially those that would be viewed as a "Dad" type who will engage and play with them. Mary simply cannot get enough of me when I'm around, and we're just starting to get past her having full-out breakdowns when I have to go to work and leave her. :)
