CA Day

Today we officially adopted Josiah from the Chinese government. Josiah had only been with us for about 24 hours and he was clinging close to us and ignoring the assistant director from his orphanage. It was such a blessing for us to see that he wanted to be close to us!

He has begun to pull us in for hugs and kisses and he eagerly tries to do everything that Nathan does. They will wrestle and play toss-the-toy together until both of them are sweating. He is sleeping well for both nap-time and night time. He is very observant about everything going on around him and he has begun to show that he understands some of the things we say. He does have a strong will and we have seen that play out in good ways (he does NOT want to go to anyone but us) and in difficult ways.

We could definitely use prayer as we love on this energetic little guy!

While we wait on Josiah's passport to be processed we will go to visit his orphanage and do a little sightseeing in Changsha. On Friday we fly back to Guangzhou to begin the process of getting Josiah a visa so we can travel back home. We miss our kids at home and are eager to see them again.
