Can you say EXCITED!!!!!! There are really no words to express the anticipation we had on this day Tuesday Nov 4th 2014. 8:00pm our time 10:00am in Taiwan. Our 1st Skype session was AMAZING!!!!!! We were all setting around waiting on the call. It was Me, Mike, KP, Josh, Mimi and Grandaddy. The IPAD rings and we are all on the couch waiting to get the first look at our son/brother/grandson. Wow, we answer and there he is, SO PRECIOUS!!!!!!!
I compared it to getting a sonogram the way you can see your baby while your pregnant. Well its much better than a sonogram ha!!!!! I'm just lost for words to tell you because it was so AMAZING. We cant wait until our next Skype.
Mike and I were talking the other night about how exciting it was. He said its like when we first started our journey of adoption thats all we could think about. Then you get lost in the paperwork and the waiting and waiting. Now a year later we get to see our precious young boy talking and moving and waving to us it just brings that Awesome Excitment right back even after all that waiting. That made the waiting all worth it :-)
There are some many things to share so I will just share a few. The first thing we saw was his smiling face when we opened the Skype. All I could do was smile and say awe awe awe. He was so sweet.
One of the other things was about his American name. Alot of children give themself American names. He had already been given the name David. We love David but thought about using Sameul and call him Sam, Because we prayed for him like Hannah in the Bible prayed for her son named Samuel. Well Mike ask him how would you like the name Samuel and with NO hesitation he shook his head and put his hands oved his ears. Immediately we laughed and said ok ok David is it. We Love David its a great name lol
I think his most favorite time was when Josh introduced David to our 4 dogs and then lots of toys. Josh did such a great job with David. He would show him each Lego and tell him all about them one by one. He loved our dogs too. He said his favorite movies were Captan America and Transformers
Kiersten was in the room but not always in the picture of the skype and when she would come ba k into the picture he would wave at her and say Hey Kiersten. Later during the skype he told us he thought Kiersten was pretty. Now you know who her favorite brother is. Ha ha naw just kidding. She will love them the same. She cant wait to take them shopping. Boys dont like shopping for clothes but she loves taking Josh and now will have 2 to take. Fun times coming.
Davie told us Yellow was his favorite color. His favorite subject in school is art. He even had a picture he had painted and showed us. He was so proud of it.
I dont know how long most skypes go buf ours lasted a little over an hour. Ut it sure didnt seem like an hour.
Our next big date is Nov 17 next monday. That is our first court date in Taiwan. We do not have to be there for that one. Not sure what all happens then but its just 1 step closer. We are waiting for them to give us our travel date and more skype dates. So until then please just keep praying for David as he is going a Hugh transitioning time getting ready to become a part of our family forever.
Praying Praying Praying for our little man David until next blog
God Bless you guys
