Update, THIS JUST IN!


20 lbs, 34 INCHES! Now, I'm not so sure about those inches folks...that would be a massive growth spurt. Those shoes he has on are HUGE, though. I'm not sure about his shoe size at all. I hope his shoes I bought him fit! I'm gonna have another adoptive mom check his shoe size next weekend when she visits.


Here's a picture from LeeAnne, the Haiti Lady's visit:

Apparently it was naptime and they were awakened with a bribe for a lollipop :~) Of course I find Joshua right away and I'm reminded of this time last year when I always worried that I wouldn't recognize him.

We expedited our passports yesterday and hopefully they will arrive quickly. They are taking about 3 weeks expedited. We also got our Hepatitis shots and Diptheria/Tetanus shots. We brought home some lovely typhoid fever pills. Haven't started those yet, but we will. We're waiting to hear from Dr. B. to see if our travel dates are ok with him. I can't wait to book those airline tickets!! Call me crazy, but Joshua just looks like he needs to see his momma, and somewhere deep inside of him, he'll know that I'm coming back for him and he has a manmi. Please pray to that end.

EDIT: I just checked my email and quietly prayed...and GOD ANSWERED! Dr. B. approved the dates for travel. Lord willing, we'll see our son in 36 days! Yeah!

Awesome! 36 days .. that means (I think) that we will be in Haiti at the same time. I travel Oct 6-13. Wouldn't it be cool if our paths crossed?? Where will you be staying?

Amanda, I am counting on the judge situation not applying. I hope so! I also arrive on October 6, at 2:30 pm. I guess it would be easier to communicate via e-mail! Mine is stepega@juno.com.
