We have just returned from meeting Jeremiah... what a day! There is so much I want to report in about our trip thus far but the most important news to report is that we met him and he is absolutely precious. We were prepared for all serious business from him since so many of his pictures show a serious face. He has a serious/ cautious side to him but we also got to see a playful side too! The first thing he did was give Tony five after Tony extended his hand to him. Then he did the same to me and to Mallory. Seemed very comfortable with this so we of course kept it to that kind of greeting. (Very difficult not to just scoop him up! We played ball with him which he really liked and then a few other activities. He is very observant... watches everything going on around him especially when he hears sounds. THe funniest part of the whole visit was when the couple we are traveling with started to take his picture he would tilt his head, smile, bat his eyelashes and squint his eyes repeatedly. It was as if someone has trained him how to "work the camera". We never would have predicted this... will be interesting to see if this is something he continues!
I can't post his picture yet but tomorrow I will post a few from behind.... my eyes just can't stay awake anymore!
Please continue to pray for us... this is a rigorous trip and Mallory is definitely feeling the effects the most.
I know after getting some good sleep she will feel so much better. Africa isn't really like any place I have visited before... HArd to leave this place without a perspective check!
More tomorrow!!
