Day 2

Saturday night was rough as McCaule was up all night. Not really hungery just congested and has a wicked cough. McKelle slept all night and I could hear her kicking her legs off an on during the night. Needless to say, I was very tired to start the day. This definitely a working trip. McKelle threw up her bottle 3 times yesterday, so we phoned our facilitator and she suggested decreasing the ratio of powder to liquid and giving her some pedialyte. We did so and she did sleep, but is still a little grumpy this morning (Monday). She is most likely coming down with something as her nose began to run yesterday. No fever, but a little crankier and sleeping quite a bit.

We lost blackberry connection yesterday, but it seems to be up and working today. For that we are thankful. Last night we ordered in Italian. It was tasty, but a little rich for me. We watched American Football at three...Dallas Cowboys. That was weird. We did find one TV preacher who wasn't too off in his theology last night to watch. They have millions of channels, but only about 3 worth the time of watching.

We took a walk around the place yesterday and have met many other families. It's kind of like being on a college campus with everyone having a primary thing in common.

McCaule has very big cheeks. We keep telling her that she will be the object of being mummed when she comes home. We've told her to watch out for Cameron! HeHe! She slept much better last night as I gave her a binky and she loves it.

McKelle has a smile on her face most of the time. She has a sweet personality, but when she is sad you definitely know it.

Kay(the facilitator) called us the first night with the girls to check on us. It helps to make you feel like you're not totally out here alone. She has been very helpful. We are still hoping to meet with Cindy(Guatemalan coordinator) soon. I have many questions for her and she has some paperwork for us as well. She is an attorney, her father is an accountant and she has a sibling who is a doctor here.

Rod had to exchange some money yesterday for our food last night. It's alot like Honduran money. There is a lady here who has been fostering her own little boy for 5 months. I'm not sure I could be in a hotel for that long. She has been a wonderful source of information, she even gave us some batteries for our camera.
