A day at the park

Aug. 26, 2010

Madison is quickly becoming a mommy's girl.

The weather finally cleared enough for us to go to the nearby park with another family. It is a large, beautiful park. Probably the most entertaining thing was the reaction we received walking through the park. Even though this is a very large town, it is not a typical tourist destination, so they are not accustomed to Caucasian people.  Often we would draw a small crowd when we stopped in an area - mostly curious children.

Our afternoon was pretty laid back -- resting, eating and going to the swimming pool.

More on Madison: Her favorite thing to do today was to take off Phil's necklace and put it on herself.  We soon realized the significance of this. Phil's necklace is of a cross and a medallion that has "dad" in the center with all four of our children's names on it. It is just another reminder of how God's hand has been in on this all along. We are slowly changing over what we are calling her. Her foster family called her "ShaSha," which we have been using up until this point. We started using Madison today, and she already has been responding (she's so smart).
