We slept in today...8:30. Had a lovely breakfast and then waited until we got the phone call that the girls were here. The coordinator phoned around 10 a.m. to tell us that McCaule had the chicken pox. I inquired when she had broken out and it was over a week ago and she already scabbed over. We got the girls around 2:30 p.m. and they took to us right away. The younger one was hungry, so we made her a bottle right away...something I've only done at church for other people's children. She took it and went right to sleep. Her pox are mainly on her torso with just one on her hand and one on her thigh; none on her face. The oldest baby fell asleep on Rod. She has a very alert and happy disposition. Easy to take care of. The younger one is a little fussy, but is warming up and smiling for us more and more. They take their bottles very easy and have each taken two naps today already since we've had them. The older one is holding her head up at a 90 degree angle, but not sitting alone yet. The younger one can hold hers up but only 45 degrees. She is all head and torso with short arms and legs. The older one is long and lanky but dense when you pick her up. She reminds me of McKayln in the way she looks. We have a bed for them to share, but we'll see how it goes tonight.
Guatemala City was setting off fireworks tonight getting ready for the Christmas Holiday season. It was quite loud. Rod is with the girls so I'm going to go rescue him. More tomorrow.
