Feeling better and making plans

Well, I would say about 70% of Sophie is peeling off like a snake now so that means she is getting better. She has been much happier. We stayed int he room all day yesterday except dinner with another family at this great restraunt set ing th courtyard of an old buddhist temple. It was a great atmosphere and good food and Sophie slept the entire time. We don't have any plans for t0day offically but will probably ventrure into the old quarter for some more shopping and possible go to a place called Craftlink where local artisans gather to sell goods.

Sophie is adjusting so well. She is starting to nuzzle us and let us really cuddle her. In the beginning she was very resistant to that. She has started loooking for us when she wakes in the mornign for about 10 secs before she screams for her bottle. She is so beautiful crusties and all. By the way her face has cleared up tremendously and we are able to see our little girl once again. She talked for about an hour last night and she just smiles and laughs. Because she slept from 530-745 last night she did not want to go to bed. Eventually about 1100 she gave up the ghost, slept till 130, had a bottle, slept til 430 had a bottle, slept til 630 had a bottle and gave us a little treat by going back to sleep until 930 this morning!!! She seems to grow every day. It really is amazing how resiliant babies are. Please continue to pray for us that she stays well and that our last embassey interview goes well.

We have planned to tours with the other families. Since we are stuck in country and have become peasants living out of our hotel rooms we have decided before we all turn into the shinning we must do something. Chris and I joked that when we get home we are going to move all of our beds into one room, I will wash all of our clothes inthe kithcen sink, and we will buy an electric kettle and live off of Ramen Noodle and Easy Mac for the rest of our lives!! I am getitng good at this one room way of living I will at least have the perception that I live in a palace when I return. And I won't even have to pay every time I use the internet!!.

Life is good. God is Good all the time and all the time God is Good.
