TWO MORE GOOD VISITS

We had two more good visits today. There was a different caregiver there this morning and she didn’t want us to leave a very confined area and Jacob was not happy about it. He wanted to go to the slide area. She mentioned something about the doctor so when the visit was over I called Andrew and asked him to speak with the doctor to see what the problem was. She explained the caregiver had been on “holiday” and didn’t know us. We got it all worked out for the afternoon so we were able to play on the slides.

There aren’t words to express the love and appreciation we feel for the wonderful thoughts, prayers, and love offering you all have given to us. It is so much more than we ever expected. We feel very fortunate to have such caring and generous “family” in our lives. Thank you just doesn’t seem like near enough. We love and miss each and every one of you and can’t wait for you to meet Jacob.

Christa – It seems Jacob does like music. The orphanage was playing some music very loud today so we could hear it in the playground area. He noticed it and was kind of singing with it. When it when off he pointed and grunted wanting more. I look forward to seeing him on stage with all the other kids singing his heart out.

We just read the blog for the Reynolds’ and know somewhat what they are going thru. We ask that you keep them in your prayers also.

Love,

James, Teresa, & Jacob

P.S. - I'm having problems posting pictures today. Hopefully, we can with next update.

Sorry to hear about the added time to your stay. I know you guys are a bit disappointed, but know the end result is well worth it!! James, the pic of you and Jacob hugging is so precious!!! You are such a loving Dad!!! And Teresa, I know you are already making a wonderful Mom!! Just remember, Mom always has to be the "Bad Guy" and say know, so Dad can be the "Hero"!:) But, when the knees get scraped, it's always Mommy they want!;) I'm so excited for you 3! I can hardly wait to see you all!! Give Jacob a big hug from all of us!

There so much truth to what Sonya said. Glad to hear that your visits are going well and that everyone is bonding. Is he saying mama, daddy or Jacob yet. Love the pictures, see if James will share the spotlight and send some picture of you and Jacob. We miss and love all three of you. Hang in there, you'll be home soon.

Hey!
It's morning there and I hope you both got some good sleep. I look at the clock and wonder what are you doing now. Hope your day will be great and you have a wonderful visit with Jacob.
I love the hug picture. He will have to get used to lots of hugging because everyone will want to love and hug on him when he gets home!! Love the sound of that!
He will love his new house and all the yard to be able to play in.
I know you are so wanting to be home and we are just as anxious for you to be here too! I wish there was something we could do to help things along. We will continue to pray and know that God is working ALL things for your good.
The alter of prayer was such a blessing - just about everyone was bowing in the alter pouring out their hearts for you 3. What a great number you have become. Keep your spirits up and know that our prayers are always with you. We love and miss you soooooooo much!
I went with your mom to give Rowdy his meds last night - I didn't want her to go by herself. You can tell he is missing you too. We petted and loved on him and told him that you would be home soon with a special surprise!
Love and hugs and many blessings!
Love,
Becca
