So while we wait...here are a few last glimpses of Blake.

We received the last pictures we will probably get from Blake's orphanage until we are there to kiss his sweet little face ourselves...The family that has been providing us with glimpses into his life are enroute back to the U.S. with their little boy, Joshua.  They had their 'gotcha' day Wednesday morning, she snapped a few pictures of Blake on the way out the door and they were on their way.

...here's what she had to share with us.

Ohhh, this picture makes me laugh out loud.  Lisa said he always climbs out of his chair onto the table and sits there until someone comes to put him back down.  It thrills me to see him so mobile and active.  If you know anything about our family, he will fit right in.

The other little children at the bottom of this page exemplify the desire these children have for attention and love.
