More Photos.....







Lisa lounging in our spacious train compartment..














Richard showing how he can touch both walls at the sametime......unfortunately it was not possible to capture this in one photo since Lisa could not stand far enough away....did I mention this was not a large space??










This is our second apartment....we have been here since March 27th..... Notice the two bottles of water....both empty! We are such party animals... Also please notice our large 17 inch TV....The show is an identical version of a classic American comedy....any guesses??















The shower curtain in our new place is nearly 9 feet tall for some reason. This photo is trying to illustrate that point since I am 6 foot 2



















All our apartments have been "tastefully" decorated. This has been our favorite piece of artwork so far.....we have named her...."Crazy Chicken Pope Lady." She is located over the couch where she can watch over us as we sleep....
"Hey Richard and Lisa why are you sleeping on your couch instead of the bed?"
Good question....see below.....







On our first night...exhausted from 30 hours of train travel....I went to lay down in our bed and heard a noise. The noise sounded like the cracking of a wooden slat.....and that's exactly what it was..
This is what we saw when we lifted up the mattress. We tried sleeping on the bed but felt we would wake up the next morning on the floor and trapped in the bed frame!
Luckily the hard as granite couch opened up to a bed as hard as granite....we have been sleeping there every since....
Thank you Crazy Chicken Pope Lady!!




Reason number two for not sleeping in our bedroom? This creepy looking closet. It looks out of place as if it were built by "others." As you can see I was visibly shaken and unable to open the door for the photo. We cannot be certain but we feel this is some sort of doorway to a parallel universe or dimension. We think we shall be okay as long as we stay in the good graces of the Crazy Chicken Pope Lady...

So happy that you have your next meeting scheduled! I hope that you guys put all of the blog entries in a scrapbook for her when she gets older because you couldn't make up stories better than the one about Crazy Chicken Pope Lady. It's awesome, and she will love reading about your adventures! Sorry that you're missing home so much, but it will all be worth it. Let us know if we can send you a care package or anything(I just don't know how long it would take to get there). Andy and I were so glad to get our bed back after 4 months in temp housing up here, we sympathize and hope you are able to get some decent rest. Love and Hugs! Sabrina

Love the photos and the explanations! You sound in such good spirits-- it's great to see you your sense of humor through all of this. Your child will not only have a scrapbook of funny memories but awesome parents too! I remember those scary outings trying to bring home food on my own. Did I tell you about the dinner we ordered after we had adopted will and i gave him a heaping spoonful of butter thinking it was yogurt!

Love to you both!
