Persistence Pays Off - Pictures

Okay, after being persistent, pictures of Jacob arrived via e-mail today (so very happy to see our little guy).  Here is one of the pictures they sent (as you can see, his scabies are healing very well - he looks so much better):

So, our little guy is now 18 months old and growing and thriving (such a blessing to hear for this Mommy so far away from him).  I pray he'll get his care package from us very soon so he can begin to learn our voices.  In the meantime, I'll start preparing his next care package.  I can't wait to hold him and let him know even though he wasn't physically with us we have thought and prayed for him every single day - just waiting to bring him home.  God knew who Jacob's parents and siblings would be and we can't wait to show him that he is very special to us in so many ways (so many prayers, so much love).
