Baptised and Sunburned





About 3 minutes after I made the last post, the phone rang. It was about 3:00 pm and it was Isaac. The kids are only allowed to call home in case of emergency, and I immediately wondered what had happened. He then proceeded to ask me if it was alright if he got baptized and explained that he really felt like he understood what he was doing and that he was ready. I had to laugh and shake my head at myself after I hung up the phone. Today we went down today and picked him up. He has the worst sunburn I've ever seen and is exhausted. Isaac did tell me he was pretty sure he took a couple of showers this week, : ) Joseph has really struggled at night while Isaac was gone. The change really seemed to affect his sense of security. He is very glad his big brother is home. Hannah was so excited to see him she belched in his face. Isaac was really impressed. Faith wrote Isaac a letter at camp, he is her hero(most of the time). They all talked very loudly and at the same time for most of the drive home. There is never a dull and very seldom even a quiet moment in our lives right now, and I am so grateful for the fun we have.

OUCH! Man, that is some sunburn- poor thing! Glad he had fun though and congratulate him on his baptism! I know what you mean about this summer- it's been a crazy one! So much going on and it's hard to keep bogs updated. I've fallen behind as well and need to update again... We went through a small surgery with Drew on my birthday and all is healed. I'll email you!

Joseph Brian Zi Nian Lockwood

We found our son on the website at our adoption agency, Chinese Children Adoption International on July 11, 2008. His birthday is 2-21-07. Joseph currently lives in Luoyang. His name is a mouth full, but we really wanted to keep his Chinese name and his daddy wanted him to have his name also. We feel incredibly privileged to be able to have him as a part of our family.
