Well, things continue to go well. I just can not put into words how God is using little Jake to change our lives. He was using Jake even before we knew him. Just the thought of adoption some ten years ago was beginning to change us.
I've included some sweet pictures. Tonight we went trick or treating which is a pretty new thing for us. Earlier in the afternoon the children (minus Jake) along with a couple of their friends passed out invitations to our church's walk through drama. They did this without me as I stayed back and prayed, worked, etc. while Jake was napping. So we then followed this up by going to just the few doors on our street and one street over tonight for goodies. It was a good time connecting with neighbors and a precious time watching Jake receive (hmmmm....take might be a better word...but with a smile) some candy. For the first time he said "thank you" just as clear as day. Don't get me wrong. He totally knew what thank you meant and when he should say it, but for some reason he always choose to say that in Chinese which was "gum" (just spelling it phonetically). He beamed ear to ear as I strolled him about. It was precious. His favorite goodie by far was gummy bears. I've included a couple of pictures. Enjoy!
Jake thought smashing up his three Ritz crackers (which then looked like 30 or so) and riding his car through them was a great way to finish off his lunch today.
Getting ready to go out the door trick or treating.
My sweet older three just love their little brother and are happy to experience everything again with him. I am really looking forward to watching them with him over the holidays.
Jake has had a couple of haircuts but got this one day yesterday. He is so agreeable when it comes to things like that.
