Pictures of you!

Today we received an e-mail from our coordinator with 6 new pictures of you. What a precious gift! I can't look at them without crying. I'm sorry we don't have you home yet. You are such a beautiful little boy! It's true that a picture paints a thousand words. Who knows if my assessments are correct or not, but from the pictures this is what I gather... You are a brave person. Strong and steadfast, not easily shaken. You move in slow, calculated steps. Not emotionally driven. Contemplative and observant. Quiet and confident. Very patient. You are kind and generous. You and Benaiah will complement each other well. Ben is oh-so-active, loud and emotional. Has a bubbly, extroverted personality and a tendency to act impulsively. You two will be a dynamic duo! In a couple of the photos, you are playing with a soccer ball. Your little brother in typical boy fashion also loves playing with balls and is going to be BEYOND HAPPY when you are here to play with him! I hope somehow across the ocean you are able to sense our love for you. I am praying and hoping that our Christmas miracle this year is a phone call telling us to pack our bags and book our flights to Ethiopia so we can bring our oldest son home!
