A Quiet Day at Palmiet

While we are here in South Africa we are trying to make an effort to find balance. We want to get out and see a lot of what the area has to offer but at the same time we want to make sure we don’t overwhelm Ephraim and try to stay around our B&B a lot of days.

We’ve noticed that Ephraim’s personality definitely changes when we are in new places (the mall, the restaurant, outside, etc), he gets very quiet and serious. Though the longer he’s been with us the less time it takes him to warm up at each new place we go. Obviously we still go places but we try to have some days where we just stay put at our B&B. I know we’ve done a lot less than the other families that are also out here adopting right now, but we know this is what is best for Ephraim and our whole family.

So a couple of days ago we had a full day at Palmiet, the place we are staying) so in the morning I grabbed my camera and documented some of our moments.

I think this girl needs to get into drama in the future, she’s so good at it already

outside on a new step = serious face

where’s Ephraim?

peekaboo!

watching some weird kind of caterpillar – oh, and more of that drama I was talking about

she likes to walk around the B&B, always my tour guide

echo!

fun with Dad
