They gave us flowers and stuffed toy for Alyana. We also took some pictures. After that we went to Eric's (their son) school to pick him up and we went home. We had dinner with them and talked about our flight. Yana watched cartoons and at around 10:35PM, we went to sleep in Eric's bedroom.
I woke up early in the morning and we ate breakfast. Yana woke up at 10:00AM. Ray came home for lunch and we went to the department store to buy food. Ray bought some clothes for Alyana and a telephone toy. They are very nice to us and Ray bought me a telephone card so I can call my husband in the Phils. On Sunday,we are going to church with them.
