The Lord is good!


The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22, 23 ESV)

I have to admit that I woke up exhausted...we all did! Last night Elliott did not sleep well. He was very restless and cried quite a bit. It breaks my heart to have him upset and not be able to console him. Thankfully most nights I am able to rub his back and he goes back to sleep quickly. I am not sure why last night was different. I guess he is just learning to sleep In his new environment with his new family  So we all were quite tired and cranky this morning. But thankfully the kids moodiness didn't last too long and a little prayer and attitude change by us parents helped make the day quite fun.

Eliiott's physical today was quick and easy. It was very basic, a small amount of paperwork and fees and a quick look at his ears, skin and listening to heart and lungs and we were out of there. His exam was normal. He really seems to be quite healthy and is doing very well. 

Afterward we went to a nearby park. It was huge and beautiful! We all enjoyed the time outdoors and all three kids loved running around. The girls just loved the flowers and Elliott enjoyed exploring. They are all so sweet!


Here is a pic of my little sweetie sleeping..a brief moment of sleep from last night:)

Here are some pics of the park today. They may be a little blurry because it's so much faster to upload them in a smaller size.





Don't you just love that smile!

After naps we went shopping at a nearby grocery store. It was quite an experience! Lots of interesting items. 


We ended the day with a picnic in our room; after the girls had given all five of us makeovers. They did all of hair and applied makeup to us three girls. What a fun day! Tomorrow we go to a safari park!
