We’re still here, and doing great! We are so blessed to have little Josiah home with us; he is a joy to everyone who meets him. Of course, there’s still plenty of adjusting going on. I am learning that keeping everyone clothed, fed, and happy is a full-time job (hence no blogging recently), but I am so thankful to be blessed with this job.

Caleb is still not sure what to think about his baby brother. I think he misses having Momma and Daddy to himself. He hinted at his slight dissatisfaction with the new situation when he casually mentioned to me, “If baby Josiah keeps fussing, you’re going to have to take him back to ‘Epeeopia.’” Of course I immediately explained that Josiah is here to stay, to be in our family forever and ever, just like Caleb. I don’t think it sunk in because later that afternoon he tried again with, “Maybe tomorrow we can take baby brother back to Africa??” I can’t say I didn’t laugh. It was such an honest emotion. If I had known you could send baby brothers to Africa, I’m sure I would have tried it myself.

Overall, we are doing very, very well. I’ve been really surprised at how well Josiah seems to have adjusted to our family. We’ve been amazed by his developmental gains over the last two weeks. It seems he’s made two months of progress in only a few weeks.

We will be blogging about Ethiopia in the near future. We had an amazing trip, and I can’t wait to tell you about it. We will also be posting pictures; I know everyone is anxious to see them. In the mean time, our pictures from Rome are posted in the photos section of the blog. We had a great three days in Rome, but I won’t bore you with the details, as I’m sure you’ve heard of Rome before.
