Day #3--Paradise Beach & Public Hospital

I just love Malachi--he loves playing piano.

Elijah wants to be just like Uncle Daniel at breakfast and put tons of peanutbutter on his plate. Whatever Uncle Daniel has, he wants too--even coffee (which I didn't let him have). I love seeing my brother at our breakfast table.

This trip has been one of contrasts. First it was swimming pool, then the real people, next it is going to the beach, and at night we go to a public hospital. They are soaking it in and loving every minute.

Arriving at Paradise beach...

Buko sisters (buko is coconut)

John, your wife is in paradise--maybe you can come sometime too--you would love it! Thanks again for sharing Sarah for a while--we are just so blessed to have her with us here!!!

Daniel's turn for an ocean pose--who wouldn't want to come here!

I post this one for Dad (Daniel reading the Kindle)--we thank you for sharing so much with us--we've loved discussing books and podcasts that you've given us. Even though you are not here, you are very present with us in many ways.

I love this one of Aunt Sarah and Elijah!

We got a text that very day that sure enough, Ate Inday had her twins that day! Haha! It was fun that Daniel and Sarah had just met her, and then to be able to be invited to see a real public hospital--it was an unforgettable experience.

Here is one of the twins on the right. The other twin is in back on oxygen. The guy sharing the bed is a random baby. They were all lined up two in a case all behind a glass window.

Here we are meeting Ate Inday. It was also my first time to the public hospital, and I was amazed to see the differences especially with the hospital in Omaha, NE where I gave birth to Elijah!!

Two ladies share each of these single frame beds with a plastic mattress. There are babies lying on beds and some ladies had c-sections. There were tons of people and ladies all in this one big room. The picture does not capture the real feel to the room.

Sarah and Daniel were getting quite a new experience visiting a newly made friend just after she gave birth to healthy twin boys. What a big day!

That's all for now--so much happens in each day, so I can hardly keep up, but this is a lot for one day. Enjoy!
