Hello From AFRICA!!!!!

Bonjour! Today is Wednesday. We have had a very busy week and have taken lots of pictures! Can't wait to post them.
Until this very moment, we have not been able to get internet access. I am sorry, I know many of you want to know the scoop. The IA is very very touchy and we have to be so patient...
Isaiah is doing well. He is malnourished and wears a size 9 months bottom and 12 months top. He has parasites, so he has very watery diarrhea often. We are changing clothes at a rapid pace. He is very quiet with us, but he has not cried much at all.
We went to the orphanages yesterday and spent a lot of time with his birth mother. She ran to the car and flung open the door, grabbed me, hugged me tightly, and wept on my shoulder. It was a very moving moment and I will never forget it. She is young and she now works at the orphanage, so Isaiah has been with her until now. He loves her very much and smiled and played a lot with her. it was priceless. we have over 250 photos and 13 videos that we will post to shutterfly when we return home.
It looks like we will return as scheduled on Sunday night, flying into Pensacola.
The airport experience was not as bad as we had thought, it was without hickups.
I will give details about it later to anyone who will need the information for future travel...
St. Anne's is good, but very very basic. Cold showers, power outages, rarely internet service (maybe every few days), but we do have air conditioning.
The traffic here is CRAZY! Everything goes, and i mean everything!
The children at the orphanages stole our hearts! They were soooo precious and made us wish we could take them all home with us! Hugs and beautiful smiles were readily available.
We love you all and will post if we can and when we can!
Thank you (Merci) all so much for your sweet prayers! We feel them!
(oh, btw, please pray for Greg as he is getting a head cold)
I know by the flights to Africa that the flights home will be very exhausting, but we will be making doctor visits for Isaiah for several weeks. He has had chicken Pox and Malaria just very recently and is still getting over them. He will need several visits, I am sure... He is very thin and as light as a feather...but he is strong willed, so he has a fighting spirit that will help him recover!
We love you All,
Greg and Tina
