Change in plans today. We were able to go to the orphanage and play with Jakob for a while. We were not able to take him with us, because we are still going to Alaba tomorrow and Sunday. We will return from Alaba on Sunday night and will be back at the orphanage on Monday. It was hard to leave him, but he is in good care.
He has some congestion but is in good health.
He is 6.7kg and quite long. We had a fun day.
We are leaving at 6:00 AM to go to Alaba tomorrow so this will be the last post until Sunday night or Monday.
Everyone is doing well. Had some time for a nap today, so we could catch up on lack of sleep last night.
Thanks for all your prayers and support.
Enjoy the pictures.
Love,
Rick & Mandi
