Sing with meHow Great is our God!
Lyrics by Chris Tomlin
On Sunday, July 20th, we were able to finally hold our beautiful baby boy in our arms. When he smiles, he looks so much like Sami did when she was a baby. He is precious and he can't get enough kisses which we are happy to provide. He also cannot get enough food and has not stopped eatting since we have been here. In the middle of the night, while he is sleeping, he will hold one arm on the crib and rock his head back and forth. I' am sure that is what he did to comfort himself. It is so hard to let him do it but if you try to stop it, he wakes up and cries. I keep whispering to him, "It is okay. Mama is here" but I know, like Lili, it will take time. When I cried about it, Chris said, "You would rock, too, if you had to stay in a crib for 3 years. He has been through a lot. " He has been in the crib for most of his days because he can barely walk and has a hard time keeping his balance but just like Mali, it will take time. And in God's time, He makes everything so beautiful (Ecc 3:11).

Is Joseph cute or what?! Will we get kisses too? He is SO happy and smiley...of course we should not be one bit surprised because GOD is AMAZING and HE hears our prayers even before we utter them.
Has mister "Large and in Charge" had an ice cream cone yet? :)
The minute I saw his picture I immediately saw Sami! :) I just think that is so cool...
We miss you guys. I keep wanting to pick up the phone and call..aren't you coming home soon?
Love,

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!!
I am so thankful God has brought you all together!
Isaiah 43:5 comes to mind
Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
I will bring your children from the east
and gather you from the west.
Know that we are praying for you all! And for Joseph's smooth transition into his forever family!! God searched the world over to find the perfect boy for you and that HE DID!!
Love and Blessings
