arriving in KY in August 2010

Monday, August 9, 2010

And now here is something we hope you'll really like.

it was a pretty good day despite the way it started off. today was Natalie's medical examination. you can see from the photo that she did not like it. let me first say that we were very thankful the Dr.s told us to move our appointment to today. it was supposed to be Saturday. there were 90 families scheduled to be there,so we would have been there for over three hours in a crowded facility. however, since we were rescheduled, it only took about a half hour. a half hour is all she could handle. everything checked out fine to our knowledge. they aren't exactly forthcoming with medical information here. her weight is 18.9 lbs for those who are curious. we didn't get her exact height, but hopefully will later. the rest of the day was pretty unremarkable. with a trip to a shopping market the only other real activity. we did get this video though. if this doesn't make you smile, then something is WRONG with you. hope you like it.
