October 23rd Ella and I brought home a bouncing, 30 lb, baby boy to join our family! Franklin Francis is around 24 months old and a healthy, chunky little guy. Kinda cute too ;).
We adopted him from Nsambya Babies Home, where he’d lived for the last nine months. He seems to be settling in quite well despite all our crazy dogs. They (with the exception of Bridger) were tied up for the whole of ONE AND A HALF DAYS which thoroughly traumatized and almost killed them, so now they are all loose and little Frankie is being forced to cope. I even got chastised by a neighbor for tying his precious Kayo up!
Not a bad lookin’ couple of kids, if I say so myself ;) It’s all in the bloodlines I tell yah!
All in all, we are very happy to have little Frankie home. The process went smoothly and I will be blogging later about my great experience with Nsambya Babies Home. I brought him home exactly 53 days after we returned from the States – we’ve been busy!! I’m really glad that our days of driving to
We’ve been talking about adopting again for the last eight months, trying to get Ella prepared and pumped to share the spotlight. She kept repeating over and over on our furlough that she was going to get a little brother or sister and, “Help him wash his little hands, give him a bath, brush his teeth and put his Skin Dr Jelly on him!” It was to our great delight that she got to do all these things Friday night :)
This is the way we wash our little brothers hands,
give him a bath,
and play with him!
Like his sister, he is already a fan of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches too! I think the little guys gonna be an easy keeper :).
