Just Some Tidbits

  • Isaac is transitioning great! His house mama at the orphanage can't believe how he will come to us when she is in the room since we are new.  We are guessing the book we sent him several months ago has helped.  It was a board book with pictures of him, each of us, the girls, our house, our dog, tractor, etc.  He is very protective of HIS book!
  • He is saying Mommy and Daddy & I think I heard him say sissy when looking at the book.
  • We are eating pretty good.  I am eating plain rice or spaghetti.  Chad is eating sweet potatoes, rice w/sauce, spaghetti w/homemade spaghetti sauce.  But to top it all off ... they have MT. DEW!!!!!!!!!! :)
  • Isaac loves to eat anything, but especially bread!  Any type, anywhere!  He will not eat the typical food here called poshoe (poe-show).  He LOVES fruit!
  • Isaac is using the potty!!!
  • Chad is fine, OF COURSE!
  • I am a sweaty mess.  It rained yesterday and I washed my hair in the down spot of water so I can keep my foot away from any water due to the injury.  I could have stood in the rain all night.  Everyone else here was freezing with jackets on. ;)
  • We went to see the old orphanage yesterday.  They moved into the new orphanage on Saturday before we arrived on Sunday.  I want to take every kiddo here home :(
  • We also got to meet the lady who found our son when he was abandoned.  It was a very emotional day.  It was the first time she had returned since dropping him off.  Just when we happened to be here.  She came to ask how the "found baby" was doing.  Very neat, but so emotional.
  • Isaac is so happy!  Biggest smile... :) Can't wait for everyone to see it!  He has only had one fussy episode when we arrived to the orphanage.  The thought is that he was afraid we were bringing him back and leaving him.
  • Court date is Friday, so keep praying!  Pictures will follow after things go as we hope on Friday!!
