Talked to the kiddos again....

We got to talk with all the kids again this evening. Jenavi (10) got on the phone first and was very talkative this time. We asked her what her favorite restaurants were and where she wanted to go with us when we were together. She told us she liked a restaurant called Chicos and also liked going to McDonalds. She also told us she liked to read a lot and the last book she had been reading was "Remember the Alamo."

Johnny (8) got on the phone next. He was short and to the point. We asked if he had a favorite restaurant and he said "yep." When we asked what it was he said he like to go to McDonalds with the playland and to Golden Corral.

We then talked to Laci (5). She immediately asked us to spell the word "bat" for her. She said she had been practicing writing her letters. Then she asked us to spell "tiger". Then she told us she was going to spell a word for us and see if we could say it. She spelled l-n-e-g-i-l-a-p-e-o-d. We told her we didn't know how to say it and she said it spelled "eagle". I guess you learn something new everyday! She told us her favorite place to eat was something about fajitas but we couldn't figure out the name of the restaurant from her. She also said she liked to go to Walmart, HEB (sort of like a Super Walmart - we went to our first one today) and Home Depot. Then she said that she and Jenavi were playing school and that Jenavi was the teacher.

Jenavi got back on the phone and said that Laci said she was done talking to us. Jenavi said her foster mom was roasting marshmallows in the fireplace. Then we could hear the foster mom asking her to ask us if we went to church and what religion we are. We told her and then she told us that she is working on her Holy Communion.

We then called Yulissa at her foster home. We only got to talk to her for a couple of minutes because her foster mom told her "five minutes." She told us they were watching "Mall Cop". She said she likes to go to eat at "Gattitown" and that she wants to show us Cole Park where she plays. She said she would be going to church in the morning.

We are going to talk to Jenavi, Johnny and Laci again tomorrow evening at 7pm. We aren't sure if we will get to talk to Yulissa again before we meet them all for the first time on Monday at 11am.
