Our Third Day with Sierra!!!

We are getting more smiles and even some giggles today. She is still reserved but is warming up every day!!! I know she is seeing so many things she has never seen before!!!!


Here are a few pictures of Shamian Island. It is quite beautiful. Its streets are lined with big old trees. There are pointsettas everywhere.





















You have to be careful when walking though, because if a car can't get through on the street it jumps onto the sidewalk. Insane, I'm telling you!!!













Joy and the others: You will be happy to know that we ate lunch at the Dolce Vita today. It was delicious!!! We will have to go back for dessert!!


Will post more tomorrow. It is soooo fun to be able to share all of this with all of you. I love reading all your comments!!!

The smiles are so beautiful!! Sierra looks so comfortable with you guys. I can't wait to meet her. Oh don't worry they drive like that in Belgium to, you get used to watching for traffic when you are walking on the sidewalk. I look forward every morning to a new installment of your trip.

Hi Kathie,

That is an awesome picture of your family!! :)

The pics of Shamian are great too.

I am so jealous, we wanted to eat there and I really don't know why we didn't??!! I guess we forgot it existed. LOL So VERY glad you enjoyed it. :)

I like the pictures and Sierra! She looks cute in all of the pictures. We like the pictures -can you please send more? How much more do you think you guys can take pictures? Come home soon! I hope Sierra had a nice time eating out. I hope Sierra has a good time here because it would be fun with Sierra over with you and us and Dallas and Page and all the kids that go to your new Mommy. And Kathie is going to be your good Mommy. She is so nice to everybody. She has dogs, Lucy & Emma. Emma & Lucy are good pets. See you soon. Love Dylan and his Mom.
