A Gift

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17


I was doing a little bible studying at lunch today and came across this verse. It was on our previous" journey to me" sight. It really touched me again today as I truly know this verse now. I have yet again experienced it first hand. We have recieved one of the most precious gifts from God in the past few months. God has entrusted us to care for another one of his precious children. The past month has been a joy learning Jett and his personality. He has done remarkable with adjusting to us and all of the changes. We have prayed about this and I can truly see God at work in our family. We owe all of this to God and give him all of the Glory.

"My cup runneth over." That pretty much sums up how I feel right now.

When I can remember to bring new pictures to work, I will post them. We have dial up service(yes, dial up internet service) at home and it takes way to long to download photos there.

Once again, thank you for the wonderful comments while we were in Vietnam. I still think of them often.

So many people thought we were still on the long layover in Los Angeles, I thought I should at least let everyone know we made it home. We arrived in Savannah, GA on Thursday, July 26 at 5:00. We were so happy to see everyone and be at home. The meeting in the airport with J.R. and James was so emotional, I don't think I will ever forget it. I think the next time we go to Vietnam it will be as a family. Last night after the boys went to bed, I went in to check on J.R. because he was coughing. As he was laying there awake, I leaned over to tell him I loved him and that I was glad he was my son. He put his arms around my neck and he said, " Daddy, I'm glad you came home." Enough said, and If I leave him for that long again, you can rest assured that it wasn't my choice

Baby Jett is doing good. He had made some real progress on sleeping at night, but he's really regressed in the last few days. He acted like he was sick yesterday, so maybe that is the explanation. He loves the boys, and has begun to feel comfortable with getting down and playing with them in the last few days. He is really attached to DeanAnne and prefers that she hold him, especially in situations when a lot of people are around. He's mostly a happy and good natured child, but he struggles at times with maintaining his usually outgoing attitude like most 1 year olds do. We are really happy to have him here with us and we look forward to what each new day brings. Thanks to each of you for following along and lending support during this very rewarding time of our lives.

Here is a picture of Jett's first haircut.

And here is the first swimming trip. Jett liked it, but I think the boys had the most fun.
