AKWAABA, GREETINGS FROM GHANA!! I'VE MANAGED TO STEAL AWAY A FEW MINUTES TO POST A MESSAGE, THANKS TO MY GREAT FRIEND HERE, JEANIE, WHOSE LAPTOP I'M BORROWING WHILE SHE WATCHES JONATHON (WHAT A GAL!). SHE IS STAYING IN THE SAME HOTEL HERE WITH HER DAUGHTERS LYDIA AND NEWLY ADOPTED AKOS! FIRST, IT WAS ALMOST SURREAL WHEN I FINALLY GOT TO MEET OUR DAUGHTER AMMA AND OUR SON JONATHON YESTERDAY AT THEIR FOSTER MOM'S, ESTHER, HOME. THERE WERE TEARS AND LOOOONG HUGS ;-) I WISH I COULD PUT IT INTO WORDS BUT IT'S JUST IMPOSSIBLE TO EXPLAIN. I LOVE BEING WITH THEM, THEY ARE SUCH PRECIOUS CHILDREN. AMMA IS THE BEST HELPER IN THE WORLD AND OFTEN BEATS ME TO THE CHANGING TABLE SO SHE CAN CHANGE JONATHON'S DIAPERS! SHE IS HAS A VERY SWEET AND KIND DISPOSITION, I AM REALLY ENJOYING SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WITH HER. SHE IS GETTING HER HAIR BRAIDED AS I TYPE THIS SO WE'LL TRY TO POST SOME PICTURES SOOM. NEXT ON HER LIST IS TO GET HER EARS PIERCED, HEHE. OH BOY. SPEAKING OF BOYS....JONATHON IS THE CUTEST THING EVER, WHEN YOU MEET HIM YOU TOO WILL WANNA TAKE A BITE OF HIS CHUBBY LITTLE ARMS. HE IS A LOVE, HILARIOUS, AND A GREAT APPETITE!! LOVES MILK, DRINKS IT LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW. HEY REECE, I THINK HE LIKES DRINKING MILK EVEN MORE THAN YOU DO. WE WENT SWIMMING IN THE POOL YESTERDAY AND IT FELT GREAT, GIVEN THE TEMP IS UPPER 80'S WITH VERY HIGH HUMIDITY. AMMA LOVES TO SWIM AND JONATHON FINALLY WARMED UP TO THE IDEA LATER. AT FIRST, HE HID BEHIND ONE OF THE LARGE PLANTERS BY THE POOL AND JUST STOOD THERE WATCHING US...REALLY CUTE. I THINK IT WAS THE BALL THAT GOT HIM TO COME OUT OF HIDING..YOU SHOULD SEE THIS KID KICK THE BALL! NEXT SOCCER STAR MAYBE?? WELL, I BETTER GO AND CHECK IN WITH JEANIE, BLESS HER HEART. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS!
