Thursday: Day 7- early morning

Our morning started out early today as Asa got up at 3 o'clock. I think it was b/c he was cold, so I put some long sleeves and big socks on him, then we read a book, played in the room, and tried to go back to sleep around 3:45. Although he was yawning, Asa wasn't happy about having to be put back to bed. Luckily he only cried for a few minutes and then woke up again at 8:30 AM (late for him). Funny thing about him waking up at 3 AM was that Adam had said in the Lamplight blog post "If you find yourself awake at 3 am... [pray for clinic]." Well, we did b/c we were awake!

One of the highlights of Asa's day had to be when he got to give daddy a "high-five" today via Skype. He had just waken up from his nap, so he was pretty mellow, but perked up when Stu asked him to "high-five," and "pound it." Getting to talk with Stu makes my day and I am so glad we've been able to chat while he's in Nigeria. (If you could see my face, there would be a big big smile!)

Ace & daddy's "high-five."

This afternoon we went to visit Omie and Opie. We decided to call them Grossa Omie & Grossa Opie, although that means "grand grandma" and "grand grandpa." Supposedly, great-grandmother in German is said, "urr-gross-mutter," so we opted for our own rendition.

Grossa Omie & Grossa Opie get a big kick out of Asa.

Omie is using a cane now instead of the walker now. She's a superstar.

Me and my Opie.

Short post for tonight. Off to bed. "Nye Nye" as Asa would say...

Hey Stu, It's Friday at lunch and I'm back on to remind you we are headed to Leander this afternoon and then on to MP w/Jared, Amanda & the boys. Love you and miss you and hope the market was awesome today! XOXO, Dev
