A Day At The Park & Pictures of our Houses

Yesterday we went to the park so that Payson could get down and play with some things.. The only thing at this park that he could play with is some fake tires to climb around in.. There wasn't a playground or really anything for babies to do! He played with the tires for a little bit but found something that he enjoyed better! He sat on the grass for probably 20 minutes and kept picking up leaves and handing them to us. He would giggle everytime we took it out of his hand cause that meant that he got to look for another leaf! We met some kids at the park that came up to us and rubbed their stomach and said they were starving.. I couldn't resist but to dig into my diaper bag and pull out some snacks and candy of Paysons and give it to them.. They went running over to the swings to the rest of their friends and shared! I thought that was pretty amazing that instead of keeping all of the food for themselves they go and share it with their friends! The next lady we met was a little old lady that probably weighed 80 pounds at the most. She was selling little homemade fish snacks.. At first we told her no thank you and she kept standing by us talking to us and talking to Payson that Landon finally asked her how much she wanted for a bag of food.. She said 2 pesos... Which in America thats probably not even a penny! So instead of 2 pesos Landon gave her 5 pesos.. She was so grateful that she offered us another sack of snacks and Landon said no that she could keep it and the money!! She was so sweet but you could tell she had absolutely nothing... It breaks my heart to see some people over here... They have nothing and they are still the happiest people that you will ever meet!!! Here are some pictures from the park!!
He thinks that he is bigger then he really is!
 
He is for sure a daddy's boy!!

He doesn't like pictures with mom
 
 
If we go anywhere this is how many kids come begging us for food at a time!
 
 
After the park we drove to where we will be living.. Right now we are staying in a hotel because our house in not yet finished being built! At first I was excited to live in a hotel thinking that it would be great to get our room cleaned for us, our laundry done for us, and room service, and free meals... Well my mind has changed! There is only so much you can do in a hotel room, and eating out every meal can really make you fat!!!:) We are going stir crazy trying to find things to do! Anyways we drove over to the houses and looked around the neighborhood and looked at the pool and everything.. It's going to be a really nice place to live, and we can't wait till we get to move in! I dunno if most of you know but my sister Jordyn and her husband Cody are going to be coming over to the Philippines in a month to live wtih us! Cody is going to run the call center with Landon.. I am counting down the days until they get here so that I have someone to hang out with all of the time!
