Not much sleep again ha it always happens after our skype date with our soon to be son David Fu-Gui Smith. We are so excited before and after its hard to get any sleep but its worth every sleepless moment. :-) When we first answer the skype there David sits with a transformer shirt on we sent him. They noticed I had on our adoption tshirt and they showed us the one we sent to him and they put that on over the transformed shirt. He seemed to have really liked it.
First thing we did was let him pick out a Christmas stocking. I bought a Rudolph and a Snoopy, he wanted the Rudolph so we hung it with others as he watched with a Big smile!!!!!!!!!
We made another picture book for him and he loveslooking at those and asking us questions about each one. He really likes the ones of Josh acting goofy :-)
After David picked out his stocking we showed him around the house so he could see all the Christmas decorations. He really liked the little tree in his room. We tried to go out side and show him the lights and Christmas inflatables but it was raining too much.
Next we showed him video of Ballard Park, our house , Mimi and Grandaddys house, the swimming pool and of course grandaddys birds ha ha. We showed him Josh and Kiersten riding around the yard in the golf cart. We just showed the video so he could see outside and things during the day since it is always night time when we skype.
He showed us the items we sent in his package. We had a lego in there and he showed us the finished project of the Lego he built. He also showed us a picture he had painted of his new family. It had mama Josh , Kiersten and daddy on it. It was so good and sweet. He showed us anothed picture he painted. I think we may have a little artist on our hands. The biggest and most proud moment of his was when he played the recorder, a flute like instrument. He had learned to play Jingle Bells for us and then he played another song I didnt know but he did so good. We all clapped real big and he just smiled. So maybe he will enjoy music too. We know he loves soccer which he calls football in Taiwan. So as soon as we can we told him we would get him signed up to play.
Mimi and Grandaddy were over here and David would see them in the back ground and wave to them and say hey grand paw and grand mother. He also told Mimi she was very pretty. Then grandaddy says and grandaddys is handsome right? They all laughed and said yes grand paw is handsome ha ha . David doesnt know the craziness he is getting into but I think he will love it .
I guess the sweetest and the one time I could have cried last night was when it was time for us to go. We were telling David bye and I said Wo ai ni that means I love you in Chinese . He smiled and said back to me I love you too in English. Oh how I cant wait to get that little man in my arms and just show him how much we do love him!!!!!!!! Show him the true Love of family and most of all the Love that Jesus has for him and what awesome plans he has for him. The first verse I want to share with him Is John 3:16 then. Jeremiah 29:11. Please pray that we will show him
Gods love and that he will come to know him. Oh what a day that will be!!!!!!!!
We are waiting on another skype date or either a travel date. Gods will and timing is perfect. We can't wait to go get him though..until next blog
PRAYING PRAYING PRAYING. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord , plans to give you a future and a hope
