Last night the babies woke up at 1:00, 4:00, and 7:00. Meg and GG were awake when everyone got up to get ready for church. They looked exhausted! Dad told them they could stay home and catch up on thier sleep.
Some of our friends lent us a red 2001 Jeep Cherokee, that they aren't using, for the rest of our time in Liberia. It is going to come in handy since we were walking everywhere before!
In church all the people came over to us before Sunday School, touching and smiling at the twins. They asked if we were adopting them, and when we said no they told we should, "carry dem back to da States" which means bring, or take. They were all very grateful that we are caring for them. They would say, "Bless you!" or "Thank you!" when we explained the twins' situation.
All the ladies pinched their cheeks and tummies, talking to them in really fast Liberian English. It is getting easier to understand what they're saying.
It wasn't a hot day, and the weather was just right. But everyone kept telling us that, "Your bebe's are cold!". And would want to wrap them up in their thick fleece blankets. They were sweating a lot by the time church was over.
When we got home they zonked out and took a good nap.
For dinner we had two cooked chickens with baked carrots and potatoes in a broth. It was amazing!
