Tomorrow will the one week-a-versary of jayna's arrival in canada and into our home. We're struck with the sense that holy cow! We finally have her home! And also the feeling within our family that she's always been here. She has her place here... And we are seeing her become more and more relaxed. Her goofy and mischievous side has emerged - and one day you'll get to see her "bill cosby" surprised face that cracks us up everytime.
The language barrier isn't too intrusive yet, though it sure would be nice to chat with her, since saying "no" to those giant brown heart melting eyes is quite difficult. "no, you can't stab daddy in the eye with your fork... Ok, just one more time..."
It feels as though she may be getting home-sick a little, so things St not be quite as smooth in the next bit, but who's used to smooth? Having her sleeping in our room has been good, but its definitely time for me to get building the bunk bed for her and nyla. I apparently am still a light sleeper, and paying for it... Good thing Amandas dad grabbed another 5lb bag of espresso from Brian...
Sorry it has taken so long to update the blog, it seems like the only time we're sitting is bed-time and we both kinda drop. Many more interesting stories and pics to follow!
We appreciate your prayers for us as we make sure we're making good decisions parenting our kids and making sure the rest of life is taken care of too!
We're blessed to be surrounded by great people like you!
Grace and peace.
Jake and Amanda
