Not sure what I am going to do.

If you haven't done anything you will be in the same place today as you were a week ago.....and the next week will get just as difficult.
Honestly, what do you have to fear? From where I am sitting, your Dad probably is leaving it in your hands to set the pace of contact....he wouldn't want to rush you. Chances are he is wondering when or if you are going to ring back.
Are you short of things to talk about? Make a list of things you want to ask him. That always makes it easier. Start with the address and tell him about the photos....and ask him if he would send one of himself.
No emails from Uncle???.....maybe he is out of town, or maybe he now think he will leave you and his brother to sort out your friendship before he has any interaction with you.
We all have been where you are at the moment. Trying to pre-guess what is going through this strangers head. Think how mixed up your emotions and thoughts are at the moment and it will give you a glimpse of how your Dad is feeling right now. We tend to mirror emotions when we are trying so hard to make this connection perfect.
My best advice....take a deep breathe, pick up the phone, make the call and tell him you were nervous about ringing but really wanted to make this reunion work so you hope he feels the same. Ask the questions giggles....then you don't have to guess...you will then have his answers to steer you on the straight road to reunion.
