God Our Father

Before every family meal we pray together. Jon Campbell up until recently has choosen the pray and lead it most meals. He has a little competition now which is very sweet to see. Jin has memorized his first blessing and can say it very clearly all by himself. " God our Father, God our Father, once again, once again, we bow our heads to thank you, bow our heads to thank you Amen, Amen."

Jin's been home for 2 months


BROTHERS

Jin has been home with us for 2 months now.  We can't believe how quickly time has flown.  Jin is adjusting very well and is quite happy.  Jin and Jon Campbell love playing together, reading together, watching dvds together and most of all laughing together.  There are many "ah" moments.  Tonight before tuck in time I noticed Jin's very dry, chapped lips.  Jon Campbell jumps out of bed to grab his chapstick.  He leans over Jin's bed and says, "Jin, do your lips like this."  Jon Campbell patiently applies chapstick to Jin's lips without being asked.

Jin loves Thomas the Tank Engine, Percy, milk, chocolate, bananas, oranges, veggies, rice, crackers, noodles, cherry tomatoes, fish, Lightning McQueen, Batman, books, and the list goes on and on.

Jin completed his 1st week of school at Judson Baptist.  He loves his teacher, Ms.Cheryl and playing, playing and more playing. 

Jon Campbell loves his brother.   Every evening wearing matching pjs is a must per Jon Campbell.

We are very fortunate to live in a city with a wonderful children's hospital.  Jin has been examined and observed by numerous doctors since his arrival.  Currently, we are working to complete all needed shots.  It is very common to discover the ones he had were not "active" or "good".  The vaccine serums may have been old or not properly stored at the adequate temperature.  He is a trooper!

 Do you know what this is?



After failing his hearing test we realized Jin's ears were clogged.  Clogged is an understatement.  Apparently Asian ear wax is different than others.  When it hardens it turns to cement and cement it was.  Sweet Jin sat with a towel around his neck, I held a small basin on his shoulder while the nurse flushed his ears with a bottle and a half of warm water with a hot pink liquid.  Once freedom was found the wax balls each dropped with a thud into the basin.  WOW!
