One more day....

It is Wednesday night here.  Well, I don't think I can get pics to post here.  I'll try to email some of you directly.  Don't worry, in about 3 days, there will be more pics than you can stand.

Today was emotional.  There was a good-bye ceremony at the care center which was really beautiful.  We were all  in tears when the nannies said goodbye.  It is very hard for them.  They care for the babies so well and some of them have been there for a while and they are attached.  We know Mason was very much loved.  They seem to pour themselves into the kids.  They genuinly consider them their own.

We did a lot of shopping today and bought a lot of fun stuff.  We've eaten dinner in the hotel every night.  I've ordered onion soup several times and it has come out different every time.  It's kinda funny.  They say that you can order something several times in a row and it will come out different every time. Last night, grilled chicken  was boneless skinless.  Tonight, it was two chicken thighs.  Go with the flow I guess. 

Mason continues to do great.  He sleeps well.  He is working us already.....he cries as soon as we put him down.  Of course we pick him right back up.  We don't mind :o)  His favorite place to be is right on own laps playing with a stacking cup and a spoon.  Last night he fell asleep with the spoon in his hand.  He cracks us up with his expressions and how he moves those eyes.  He is quite the charmer.  You'll see.  I think he'll do great on the plane.  All; the babies have a wet cough and some are having blow outs a few times a day but overall, they're all doing great.  He's not exploring too much yet but I'm sure that will change once we are home.  We are so lucky.  I'm sad his birth mom will miss out on knowing him. 

It will be a bit sad to leave tomorrow night but we are anxious to get home.  We are craving clean air, a softer bed (I think a firm bed but this is plywood with a sheet on it), salad, and Diet Coke....not necessarily in that order.  We are very excited to see the girls.
