Two Months Old!

Dear Israel,

Today you are two months old! We heard very sad news today that you are not feeling well. Oh, son, we long to have you home so we can snuggle you when you don't feel very good. We are praying for you all the time and throughout the day your dad and I call each other just to talk about how cute you are. All day we wonder what you are doing, and imagining you as you discover more about yourself and your environment. You look so quiet and thoughtful in your pictures. And you hair! Oh, you have some styling hair right now. Your dad hopes we can keep the mohawk that you are rocking right now.

Son, we are praying for you non stop. Today we are celebrating that you are two months old and that God has gracefully allowed us to pray for you during this time. It is a privilege to look at your pictures and know that God is working on our behalf to have you home.

This weekend we bought you a LOT of clothes in preparation for next summer and fall. Every outfit we imagined your cute little arms and legs inside. Your dad bought a baseball outfit for you to wear to a Braves game next season. He's already making plans to take you to lots of fun places!

Tonight, to celebrate your two month birthday, we're having some international students over. We love having people from different cultures and backgrounds in our home- and we look forward to incorporating what we learn about Ethiopia here, too! We love you sweet boy. We can't stop praying for you and asking for God's hand of protection over you. We hope you feel better soon, little man. Your mom and dad can't wait to take care of you.

Love,
Mom
