As I mentioned in the last blog we had a totally free day Friday and we did almost nothing. Jackson and Grace played in the hotel room until lunch, we had some noodles (I am really getting tired of the noodles - which I am not supposed to be eating anyway), and the spent the afternoon at the pool. Jackson is getting braver in the water everyday. Midway through the afternoon he was in full boy mode. Getting a running start and jumping into the pool. Still has his "floaties" on but this was probably one of the first times he has been in water over his head so we'll give him a break there. He'll get some lessons from Mrs. Frost in Petersburg soon enough. He did have another first today - ice cream. It came with his supper and you could tell by the way he looked at it when they set if on the table and after he took his first bite that he had never had it before. There will be plenty of that when we get home too. The boy could use some meat on those bones.
Grace had a better day yesterday. Still some mixed emotions for her but that is to be expected. Lisa and I are trying to do our best here but we are new to this as well. A work in progress.
We are taking Jackson for his medical appointment this morning. He's getting a shot or however they do a TB test over here. Some prayers for a negative test would be appreciated. Hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather back home.
