It is cool to watch Tryana and Kalysta learn as they warm up to us. They are learning our names. We were going to teach them how to count and were surprised to see that they can count to 10, say their ABCs, and sing "Jesus Loves Me" all in English!
K is so sweet! Today, she said "Nda gukunda" (Kinyarwanda for "I Love You") to T. Her laugh is also cute. They are both laughing and talking more and more.
They love all their toys. They love to play with all the water bottles and always take the clothes off their dolls. T and K love to play with Dad's ipod touch (just like M and me) and think they can touch every electronic with a screen! They also love to wear their jackets (with the hoods on). I can't wait to see how else they change as they are with us longer.

Thursday & Other Thoughts
L:
I was not able to access the blog at all last night, so I will give a quick summary of Thursday and then try to blog about yesterday sometime later today. In the morning, we did some souvenir shopping at a neat little marketplace. After lunch, we went back to the hotel for a long (much-needed) nap. Then we ordered room service for dinner and skyped all the grandparents. T & K don't know how to stay in front of the computer yet and our ability to skype is pretty hit and miss, but hopefully it's not too frustrating for everyone back in the States.
When they wake up, Kalysta moves over and holds Tryana's hand. It's so sweet.
I keep reminding myself over and over that God in His wisdom and love chose us to be Tryana and Kalysta's family. He will give us the ability to love and parent them in the ways that they need. Despite our inadequacies, He will provide for these two precious girls.
I'll end by saying thank you for the comments, e-mails, and posts on Nick's Facebook. I think you understand that we don't have time to respond, but please know that we appreciate them.
