Still working on pictures

We have a few pictures,but we haven't figured out our new program, so I can't upload them yet. Here is a rundown.

I didn't burst into tears because I was biting my check to pieces. Today,of all days,he had a doctor's appointment and didn't get home until 4:45. We waited with his "family" at the orphanage. He lives with 6 older brother, and 2 wonderful caregivers who love them so much!!! The first thing he did when he saw us was to look at Dan and say,"Hi,Dad". Of course he was coached by his caregiver, but it was still precious.

He has been doing great! He loves to tease. He calls,"Mami", and when I turn to look at him he pretends he is going to throw the ball to me, but then throws it to Dan.
Then he grins from ear to ear.:) He is amazing us in so many ways! Of course he made my day when he touched my face and asked me for a hug. I did cry a little when he kissed my cheek and wrapped his fingers through mine. He is enjoying Dan very much,too. He wouldn't wait outside with me when Dan went into the store, and everytime Dan got behind us, he would not move until Dan caught up.

We will try to get the pictures on here soon!

Alice,

Andreas will touch your cheek a million times and a million times you'll cry. So stop biting your cheek, it'll become a facial tick.
That boy's going to learn a great deal about patience waiting for Dan. How blessed is he!
We love you all so very much! Enjoy your time with Andreas, but hurry home.
