Quick Update

It's 2:30am here in Bangalore and of course I'm wide awake. We all crashed at 8pm tonight and woke up to Macy's cough. I needed to wake up anyway to handle a couple of things with travel and her doctor back home anyway. Hopefully I will go back to sleep. Our internal clocks are still messed up. I'm guessing that just when we get used to the time difference, it will be time to come home. Oh well.

I can't wait to bring this girl home for you to see. She seemed a little sad after we brought her to our hotel room yesterday afternoon, but the gloom didn't last for long. In no time she was smiling, laughing, and playing games with us. She didn't want anything to do with me at first, but now she is constantly looking for me and wanting to play. We would sort of jump like we were scared when she made a noise of some kind (like a cough) and when she caught on, we played that game until we were afraid she was going to hurt her voice. She would cough or make a noise and we would jump and she would laugh and laugh. She is so funny. Jeni spoke of her smile. I have never seen a child smile with her entire face like she does (eyes, nose, mouth, maybe even ears :) She is already such a joy and doing great (praise God!). She is going to miss her orphanage and the care she had there. She was really attached to the ladies who worked there and did a great job (what an awesome work), but I think she is going to be just fine. We are a little concerned about the cough, but we are corresponding with her pediatrician over email. I don't know if Jeni and Macy are asleep, but I want to wake her up to play when I get back in the room. I don't know if I can wait till morning :)

Thanks again for all the comments, they make us laugh and cry (at least they make Jeni cry...not me of course :) We will keep you updated. One more day in Bangalore before heading to Delhi. The trip is going fast!
