First Day Out

Today was an awesome day! Because we passed court yesterday we were able to pick our new son, Isaac, up at the orphanage and keep him with us all day! It was great. We were finally able to see him really smile, hear him laugh and babble. He is so sweet and loving. He really enjoys cuddling and exploring, today he saw tv for the first time, rode in a car, felt the wind rush through the window, touched so many things. We just fell more and more in love with him. He did awesome with us too, he ate well and napped, played and interacted so much. We couldn't have asked for a better first day all together with him.

We also enjoyed 2 super special moments with some friends here, we were able to share their joy in receiving their referral and meeting their new child today, what a privelage. We are rejoicing with them tonight and praying for a busy day of progress tomorrow for their Act of Adoption and Court, that we just finished.

We also applied for Isaac's passport today, we will be able to receive that after 1 more document. We hope to get our last document, our To Whom Letter, tomorrow. This the the paper we need so we can have Isaac with us all the time and travel out of Rwanda.

Please pray for our To Whom Letter to be signed tomorrow, for our friends' next needs, for the other 7 families with us as they bond more and more with their children, and for all our families at home. We are half way through our trip tomorrow and we sure miss the kiddos at home. Thank you so much for all your support and prayers. We are praying for good news to share tomorrow!

Here is our cute guy today, enjoying time playing in the hotel room and his 1st Broncos outfit!
