Go Fish!

A long time between posts. At this rate nobody is probably checking this anymore. It is a good therapy to write none the less and hopefully someone does read. As we have stated previously, we really appreciate the love and support of everyone and especially the prayer support.

Jadon continues to adapt (as do the rest of us). His tutoring has gone generally very well (although today was less than stellar on his part). We are very blessed to have such a great teacher and tutor and it is making such a huge difference in all of our lives. One of Jadon's favorite activities from tutoring is Go Fish. He has come to know his letters (upper and lower case) well enough to play that game with the whole family. It is good practice when he has to say, "Daddy, do you have M?" The v sound is a challenge, but it gets easier every day.

When we stop to look at all that has happened in the last two months (two month anniversary of Gotcha Day is July 4) it is pretty incredible all that this little man has had to take in. He really has done a remarkable job in that regard.

We had family photos taken on Monday evening at a park in Stillwater. Hopefully we will be able to share some of those very soon, so check back. Please pray for our continued efforts to communicate and understand one another. Jadon now knows how to tell us, "I don't know" or "no understand" so we know when we are making some progress or more is needed. Pray for his continued need to learn language and culture. It has got to be so overwhelming. Thanks much.

  1. I read every blog you post! Go Fish...haven't played that one in a long time. We were on vacation and ended up playing the never-ending game of Queen Rummy Bee...14 rounds. Whew. Glad to hear of the progress with Jadon! Blessings.
