They are doing very well and getting to know Aliya, she is very loving and has a good sense of humor. She should fit right into this goofy family just fine. They spent today going back to Layla house to get Aliya's belongings and take hundreds of pictures. They also went to Entoto mountain which wasn't much of a mountain but ended up being a beautiful church that they toured (I think I got that right but I'm not much for detail). Tomorrow is the Embassy first thing in the morning. Then they are traveling to a very, very poor part of town which will be very sad and un-forgettable according to some other adoptive families who have already been there. They will be guided by a young christian man that has a passion for these people and tries to help them as best he can. Then they will be doing a little shopping of course. Thursday they plan on traveling to Aliya's home town which will be a full day. Friday they start they journey home, Yeah!
According to Laura, Katie and Aliya are like to peas in a pod and are having a great time.
I'm glad they made it there and are having an amazing time bonding with Aliya. Sounds like she is going to be a perfect fit into your household. Your all in my thoughts and prayers. Blaine, your updates are perfect =)
