Today we switched things up a bit and visited Jackson in the afternoon instead of in the morning.  It has been getting dark around 4:00 and it works out better for the family that we share the driver with to go visit their older daughter in the morning.  So, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays we…

Each day we are learning more and more about our little guy Jackson.  Here’s a list of what makes Jackson unique: In bringing him a Halloween shirt yesterday, we learned that he likes to dress himself, and he’s pretty good at it! We brought him baby food a few days last week.  Now he thinks…

Today we had a normal visit with Jackson in the morning.  He must have known that something was in the air because he was very calm today and got very snuggly towards the end of our visit.  Today was the day that the children have their 6 month check up, so our visit was cut…

We have recently found out that we will have court tomorrow (Friday) at 3:00 pm.  Please think about us tomorrow morning as you are starting your day.  That’s 8:00 am Ohio and Florida time and 7:00 am NW Indiana time and 5:00 am Seattle time 🙂 Scott and I are a little bit nervous for…

First before I start – No court today. At the moment it looks like court will now be on Friday. Things got a little delayed for whatever reason, but with the 10 day waiting period falling over a weekend, we’re not gaining any extra days that we will have to stay here so far. So,…

Today was a very special day with our visit.  Let me start with the car ride. Valentino picked us up at the normal time.  Most of the time we go straight to the orphanage, but sometimes he makes a stop at this old building and he says, “Documents- Administration.”  We all just shake our heads…

Yep, today was just another day in paradise, haha, just kidding!  Maybe if the weather was warmer and there was a beach nearby… Today we played outside for our entire visit.  It was only about an hour because it takes the nurses like 10 minutes to change him into his outdoor clothes and to put…

I’m dedicating this post to our crazy driver, Valentino because without his driving we wouldn’t be able to see our little buddy each day!  However every time I get in Valentino’s silver BMW, I get carsick.  I’m afraid one of these times I’m not going to be able to hold back!  Let me explain… Scott…

Today was another visit with Jackson.  It’s Saturday, so there is a different staff that works at the orphanage.  I think that they are more like babysitters on the weekend.  We gave Jackson crackers like usual, and we gave him a jar of baby food and a spoon.  He went to town on the baby…

Today Scott and I woke up to sirens going off in the city this morning and lots of rain!  We never did figure out why there were sirens, but we looked out the window and people were scurrying around like always.  No one seemed alarmed, so we went on with business as usual. Today at…
