Counting down the days...

It feels really good to not have anything to report about our adoption process because everything is done! We're just waiting to get on a plane.  At the same time, I'm sad for a whole bunch of people that are still waiting for travel approvals. There is currently a glitch in the system affecting TA's, it would be so hard to be at the  end of the process and stuck at the very last step.  Hopefully it will be resolved soon.

We got to Skype with Gabe on Sunday evening.  We're so grateful to have such a wonderful opportunity. We should be scheduling another call soon.
Some things we learned about him during the call are:

- He wakes up early, about 6:00-6:30. Perfect! We do too, during the school year.
- He does not take a bottle, he uses cups with handles. I need to get some of those.
- He sticks his tongue out when he's really excited.
- They have dogs at Bethel and he doesn't seem to be afraid of them. Hooray!
- He likes Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and Row Row Row Your Boat.
- He knows a few signs: more, play, all done.
- He's active. He was all over the place during our call.
- He's absolutely adorable! But we already knew that :)

We're waiting on a final report all about our little guy. I'm super excited to learn even more about him.

Please pray that we will be able to visit Bethel before Gabe is transferred back to his province. I'm still waiting for details about this and we leave in less than two weeks.

We're getting closer to filling up our puzzle. Consider sponsoring a piece for only $10
