Hello everyone! We made it home Saturday afternoon.Gabriel has been enjoying getting familiar with his new home. Eating has been interesting, but we are making progress slowly. Our cat was very sick before we left and had to be put to sleep while we were gone, so Gabriel did not get to meet Niles. However, he has "met" Ammo and is terrified of him, so we are trying to ease him into that relationship.
Gabriel is picking up some English words already. On Wednesday, the 19th we had him saying please. He will count 1, 2 with us. He started saying thank you over the weekend and will say nose and eyes with us. So he is making progress for only being with us for one week now. He seems to now that his name is Gabriel and will answer to it and he seems to understand us when we talk to him about things. ie - "pick up", "put it in the __", etc. Mommy and Daddy are adjusting okay too.
He sleeps really well once he goes to sleep. He doesn't like to go to bed and has some doozy temper tantrums (like his dad used to). He is very sociallable, (like his mom). He met his church family yesterday and enjoyed that and was very good in church (for now). He was introduced to everyone during the service and one of our elders prayed for all of us.
We know that God has blessed us through this journey and we are so thankful to all of you, our family and friends for your support, love, and prayers. Gabriel is ready to meet you all and charm you as he does us.
Love the Schwarte trio,
Rick, Angela, and Gabriel
