Definitely our son

The more we spend with our son, the more obvious it is becoming to us that he has been put with our family for a reason.  Most importantly, please look at what he picked out of his suitcase of clothes to wear today!  Seriously - the child melted our heart.  I mean he had lots of options, but this is what he insisted on wearing. 

And it gets better - this afternoon when it warmed up he asked to change into the Mizzou jersey!  Oh. My. Goodness.  Can you imagine how proud we were as parents?  :)

You'll also see behind him that his bed was made nicely.  That's right he woke up and made his bed right away without us saying a thing. (Those of you who know Jack will understand how big of a deal this was to him.) And after changing his clothes he neatly folded up his pajamas and placed them on his bed.  Then he motioned that he was going to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.  Apparently the orphanage really had him trained well - let's hope this lasts longer than the honeymoon period. 

The rest of the day we spent playing soccer and games at the Guest House.  Tonight we are having a special Ethiopian meal of Doro Wat which he is very excited about.  Oh yeah - I guess I should mention that we went to the US Embassy today for our visa interview.  It was really uneventful.  The only exciting part was that our son thought the security machines and drinking fountains were pretty cool.

Just 2 more days here and we will be on our way back!  We can’t wait for you all to meet him.  (and to finally be able to post some good pictures!)
