Another great day!

We had a tear-free day yesterday, and we haven't seen any today either.  She even takes a nap without complaint.  Of course, that could change at any moment!  This morning we went back to the medical clinic to have her TB test read (all was well), then we have had the rest of the day on our own.  We had another picnic lunch from the White Swan deli, then the boys headed to the zoo.  The girls took naps then went for a walk and did a little more shopping.  The construction on the island makes getting around pretty difficult, so we decided that we deserved some french fries and milkshakes at Lucy's!  I don't know whether Peyton is used to things like that, but she certainly seems to like them! 
 
Several other families with our agency arrived last night and today, and we will meet all of them tomorrow for some touring and lunch.  There have been very few families here the last few days, so it is nice to see some more activity.  I know the shopkeepers are happy to see them too! 
 
Peyton is picking up some English already and will repeat most anything we say to her.  She is very good at "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Go!"  We're starting to learn some of her words too.  Communication has really not been a problem.  It's amazing what you can get across with pointing and gestures! 
 
We have been talking to the other children over the webcam every day, and they seem to be doing well and are very excited about meeting their new sister.  It's wonderful to be able to see them even though it makes us miss them even more!  Can't wait to have all six at home together!!  I could do without the cooking and laundry that will come with that though.  We're getting really spoiled here!
