A Lithuanian Lazy Day
I'm not one to get bored easily, but oh my goodness! We all had a hard time waking up today (although we have been sleeping well ... thanks for your prayers!) and we all felt like staying at the flat. Now that it's evening, I think I'm suffering from Flat Fever. There's just not much to do in a place that's not your own. Oh well.
We did venture out for lunch though ... pizza, of course! Did you know that in Lithuania you can get sliced pickles, whole pickles or canned tuna on your pizza? They also usually come in individual sizes and you eat it with a fork and knife. Luckily I read about that before we came here, so we didn't look completely foreign.
Oh, the whole phone thing turned out well. Lina had called Elona, which made her think she had won ... you should have seen the triumphant grin on her face! But Elona told her that we made the rules and she would only translate, so at 10pm Lina actually brought her phone in to KC for the night. We were both impressed that she did that. This morning she thanked KC for taking the phone because she slept really well. Ah, parents really do know best! ;)
We thought we might be going to visit another orphanage today, but it is scheduled for tomorrow in the late afternoon. That should be fun ... Lina is excited to go ... she really likes babies, but I told her we didn't know if there were babies there or not. I guess we'll see. Before that we are planning to go back to the Akropolis to go bowling. Now that should be fun!
Well, that's about it for this non-adventurous day! I didn't have any photos from today ... the one above is from our first day together. It just didn't feel right not having a picture!
Hope you are all doing well!
Michele, KC & Lina

Oh yes, didn't see any infants, but little shaved head toddlers! Bring kleenex(for yourself) and a bag big enough to bring(smuggle) one home for us. We'll gladly drive to Washington to retrieve it!
Hey - Let us know how the orphanage goes! Jason and I (are actually beginning to enjoy the thought of having kids) are looking at adoption now, and Lithuania is definitely one of our favorite options. I'm glad you guys have all bonded so well. KC - the sign up for the Christmas party is up for the 18th of December (Thursday at the Best Western on Lakeway). Do you want me to sign you up for 2? Let us know!
Can't wait to see the next post. Your in our thoughts and prayers!
Hey guys,
Great Video! Great to see you all as a family.
Susie, Matt and the kids
