We had a great visit this afternoon. We couldn’t go this morning. 
We needed to book a new flight date and get Jacob a ticket. 
As of now we are coming home on Tuesday, July 17th same time as before (around 8:30 PM). Also still into Huntsville. I have just learned from Mama that happens to be the week of Revival. I hate that I am going to miss even part of it. I have been looking forward to hearing Larry Camp preach.
Jacob and I were walking around and James called out his name and he turned around and looked (several times). This is the first time he has responded to his name.
He was all about hugs and kisses today. Mama got a bunch of them. Daddy was on camera duty, per requested by Melissa. He fell today bumped his head. After James picked him up and he stopped crying he said, “Rub it”. He is fine. He didn’t cry but a minute. 
Here are the words he can say but most are still hard to understand. Mama, Daddy, Nana (we are still working on Papaw and several other names), Open, Step, Rub it, Baby, something that sounds like Puppy when he is around the big dog, and we think he said Jacob today (but not real sure). There may be more we just can’t seem to remember any.
Please continue to remember us in your prayers and that court goes good Monday. Also please remember all the little children in these orphanages. Pray they will be placed in a loving home soon. Two children from Jacob’s group are sick right now. Please remember them in your prayers also.
As always, we love and miss you all. I know we say that every time but you can’t imagine how much you all mean to us.
Love,
James, Teresa, & Jacob

Hello James, Teresa, & Jacob
The pictures are great. Keep posting them, pictures are great memories as the years go by. I can set and look at pictures of my children now and wonder where the time has gone. It doesn't seem like our children should be grown. They all grow up fast. We are still praying for your court coming up that everything will go smooth. I sure don't want you two to go thru what the other couple has gone thru. I can't imagine how they felt. I read their Blog and my heart goes out for them. I will be praying for them also. We love you all. Talk later better get back to work.
Love Tammy
I am glad that you know the date you're supposed to come home. We miss you guys very much. I went through Tommy's clothes and shoes and I have a bag full waiting for Jacob when you get back. You know he really resembles our family. Almost like he was meant for you. Hutch and I are moving to Crossville by July 9th, but I still have the same cell number.
Let me know when you're back and we will be there ASAP.
Alisa
Love you Always
WE are so Happy for you! Cain't wait to meet Jacob and have all of you home.Isn't God Great!
Thanks for the pictures. It sounds like things are going pretty good. Janet brought Thomas over tonight to play and Matthew handled it better this time. He wasn't as jealous and only cried once when he wanted the bubble machine that Thomas was playing with. I wouldn't let him take it away from him and he cried for just a minute or two. Once he say I was ignoring him he quit. They did have fun playing in the pool together and they did take turns going down the slide. Thomas was actually repeating words and some of the things like (fall down go boom) that Matthew was doing. It was funny to watch and reminds me how much other kids pick up from the ones around them. I can't wait for Jacob to start learning some things from Matthew (I hope). Sorry for the long blog, I'll have Scott send pictures again soon.
Teresa, James and Jacob,
Love the pics!!! They are so good. I'm so glad that the visits are getting better. He looks very content, and looks like he is bonding more with you.

You are still in our prayers.
