Day 2, Trip 2....
We had a great visit with both boys together. Blake had very little fear of Jeff and let him pick him up and sat on his lap. The boys did not pay too much attention to each other but we are not sure they really grasp that they will be brothers. We could not believe the difference in Blake. He looked so much healthier and even acted more alert and curious. We got to spend about 1 1/2 hours with the boys. It was so hard to leave them again but we told them we will be back in two weeks to pick them up for good. Travis told the translator that he wanted to go home with us. Talk about melt your heart.... Tomorrow is the big court date. It is a HUGE deal here and everyone seems a little on edge about it. I just keep reminding us that others have been successful in court and so will we. Jeff is fighting a wicked sinus attack but is hiding it well. I will attempt to upload some new pictures. Best wishes to all and thanks for all the prayers. Keep them coming.. J&J

You both must be feeling on top of the world, the boys are all you hoped & dreamed for these past months. Cannot believe in the transformation of Blake and Travis looks even better than ever! So glad Blake is accepting Jeff. I seriously doubt Travis will lack for hugs when he gets home. Celebrate & get some rest before Court. You both will do just fine. The judge just can't help but feel all the love & prayers that are with you as you enter the court room.

Good luck in court tomorrow, I'll be praying for you. It is clear to see that you belong together as a family. The boys have a wonderful life waiting for them, how could anyone deny that? They are just too cute and I can't wait to finally see them in person.

Best of luck tomorrow. You will both do fine in court. The boys will have an awesome life in the Allen family. I'm pretty sure Jodi can hold her own in court. I can just picture Jeff next to Jodi in court and Jodi having control of the situation and Jeff saying to himself "that's my woman and oh boy".
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is Good Friday and it will be an awesome day for the Allen family.

mom and jeff,
ReplyDeletehey guys miss you so much and glad to hear that Blake loves Jeff now and that they let the boys both be with you together. The boys hair cuts looks much better and hope that the Blake monster is not attacking the animal crackers again. Love,

ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow, even though we are sure you won't need it. It's hard to believe how fast the time has gone by and shortly you will be home with your boys!
