We are in country!!

Ok sorry I'm a terrible blogger anyway but it's has been very hectic since we arrived in country Sunday afternoon. We were delayed one day from getting our official referral to come meet Grayson because of a crazy snow storm that hit the capital city here shutting everything down. We of course did not have coats. I don't own a warm one since we live in south TX I don't really need it, Jared just thought he'd be ok for a few days without one since our region is way south of the capital and typically warmer this time of year! WRONG lol we actually were ok in just two layers and a fleece hoodie or sweater but all our facilitators were freaking out saying we must be cold blah blah blah and we were sticking out really bad as foreigners without coats so on Monday we walked to the GAP to find coats they were on clearance and we paid about $165 American dollars for them, more than we would in the states but clothing here is expensive. We didn't get to get out and sight see though since we were rushing trying to get our referral so we could head down to our region to meet Grayson, we do have to take the almost 15 hour train ride back up to the capital in a few days though to get Masha's referral. We did get to meet Grayson on Thursday morning and have visited him a few times since. He's absolutely adorable and very smart. Spoiled by the staff at the orphanage too, everywhere you look his picture is up on the wall. He is already calling us mama and papa.
