Squeaky Clean


Another victory--bath time! We just wanted to share with you what may seem like a small thing, but for someone who likely has never sat in a bathtub, played with splash toys, had his head lathered up, etc. this was a major accomplishment--especially given his total lack of interest in anything of the sort last night! After his bath, he enjoyed a relaxing rub down with nice smelling lotion. He fell asleep quickly in Celinda's arms during prayer time. Please pray for a good night's rest for him, and us! And that Celinda & I don't get the little cold that Julianna has been fighting today. Is it too early for us to be ready to come home?!? (PR)

Hello dear friends!

It's such a delight to see our prayers being answered in such a sweet way! I know there may be some trying days of adjustment still to come, but isn't it a tremendous blessing that John-Nathan is so relaxed and trusting of you already? The videos give us a taste of his precious personality, but even the still pictures communicate a contented smile and a twinkle in the eyes. Thanks again for sharing everything with us!

I noted that your profile view says 282 this morning. I'm not sure what that number actually tells you, because this family refreshes the screen multiple times a day to see if you've posted anything new! I'm sure everyone else out there is doing the same! This has been so much fun for us!

We're praying for Julianna to be well, and for all four of you to be in good health and ready for the return trip home. As soon as you're rested, we want to see you face to face and hear firsthand of the Lord's graciousness to you on this adventure!

Much love from the Smiths

Yay! Look at that grin! He has a beautiful smile! Seems to be enjoying those bath toys!

Hope Julianna feels better in the morning and the days until you guys come home pass quickly!

We have thought of you guys constantly and can't wait until you are home enjoying your new son!

Think he will be ready for pool? From the look on his face he may like the water.

Love Mom/Grandma

All of the pictures say everything. I don't think I've ever seen Peter smile so BIG. He is such a perfect fit for you but then he was chosen especially for your family. What an anniversary gift!!!!

Praying for good health and safe travel for you all.

Oh what a beautiful smile and like Grandma said, he will love the pool! The giggles video is so cute!

Hope when you all wake you will feel good & enjoy your day. We are praying that Julianna will be all better and your journey will continue smoothly.

Looking forward to new pics! Love the narration by Peter. This needs to be part of a book! We love you & can't wait to see you. Love Aunt Genie & Uncle Larry

All of the pictures are just great! He looks like such a happy little boys. Seems as though our prayers for an easy transition are being answered, too! :) Love the video of him eating where we got to hear his little laugh! Such a lovely sound, hope hear much more of it!
