Nov. 7 - Nealy's Baptism
This morning our adoption coordinator submitted Nealy's visa application at the US Consulate so we had to wait in our hotel room in case there were any questions needing our immediate response. After the appointment time at the US Consulate, we were free to do what we wanted, so the three of us took a taxi ride along with three others from our group (Debbie, Debbie's sister-in-law Sonny, and Debbie's new daughter Zoe Grace) for a return trip to the jewelry shopping mall to get a little more jade, pearls and silk. At 4pm, all the families met for group pictures. After the group pictures, the three of us headed across the street to the "Friendship Store," a government run high-end department store that also carries some groceries, included some much needed baby formula. We're now feeling pretty safe with the buying the baby formula here.

Morning play time.

Boink!

The daily surprise monsoon. Really, it shouldn't be a surprise anymore. They really needed the rain with the humidity getting low -- nearing 80%.


As mentioned, at 4pm we all met in the lobby for group pictures.

Nealy showing off her new red dress and her new standing skills. We think she might just skip crawling since she hates being on her tummy.

The family.

This is what Princess Nealy looks like when she is being a little fussy.
