Baby visit and a nice dinner
We had a nice visit with baby Brady yesterday.
There are different rooms in the baby house where they put you for your visit and sometimes we have to share. That doesn't work well, the babies are so interested in each other, we spend the whole time trying to get his attention but whatever we do, gets the other baby's attention, too.
There are two rooms we've used. The music room doesn't have a lot of toys, but it has a piano and lots of room to crawl around. The "ball room" as we call it, has tons of balls, with a ball pit. Owen loves the big ball that Michael rolls to him and he pretends it knocks him over into the bouncy thing. Take a look.
Last night, I had dinner with some of the other American folks here adopting. Jen's husband, Rob, stayed home, so she and I walked about 10 minutes to the meeting place, the horse statue by the river. There we met Gretchen, a single parent from PA and her Aunt Susan, and Eric and Natalie from Virginia. We walked to the Oasis, a restaurant with not only a menu in Enlgish, but a non-smoking floor upstairs. We had a grand time, comparing notes and stories. Gretchen has her court date next Monday, May 22 and will be flying home and returning after the waiting period of 15 days. Eric and Natalie arrived the same day we did so they'll be on the same schedule as us. Rob and Eric, Michael and Owen will all be returning after court, so it'll be nice to have Jen and Natalie to hang out with.
When we do it again, Michael can go have dinner while Owen and I stay here.

Hi Dad,
We were told to wait on posting a picture until after court. Our coordinator has been out of town since last week. I'll check with him to be sure that's right and will let you know.
