The girls were big helpers!
He had a bit of a deer-in-the-headlights sort of face for most of the pics!
Cutesy pie
Elly took this pic.
Doesn't he look just like a certain red-head you've seen here before?
In other news, we got a video of Esias today. It was footage from December (boo!) but video nonetheless. It was good to see him moving, or at least being held. He was less than six months old at the time. So obviously he's changed a lot. But the best part was that a man in the video talked about Esias' history. He called him an "interesting child" with a "rich history" which I thought was quite awesome. I want Esias to think of himself that way when he is older and trying to process everything. I hope we get that chance to be with him as he does. We also heard a native speaker pronounce his name...Yabetse is his given name, and we've been pronouncing it very American as "Ya-BET-say" when in actuality it is pronounced "YAH-bes" with just a tiny bit of "t" or even "ts" at the end. If that makes any sense!
I am still waiting on some updated pics from two families who just came back this weekend, and three more families leave this week, so we might get more pics next week too. Woot woot! Monday is the court date...oh Lord, please make this the last one! My heart can't take it anymore!
