Drew was amazing today...he stood up on his own from a sitting position and did a lot more walking...it's amazing how much he's improved with that just in the little time we've had him. We also went on the slide today, which he loves!! And he spent some time picking up rocks and twings and playing in the dirt like all little boys should!
It was about 70 degrees here today - way too warm for November!! At the orphanage the kids are dressed in layers - like as many as four pairs of pants and three shirts at a time. Every day when Drew comes into our room the first thing we do is strip off half of his clothes! Today we were rebel parents and we took Drew outside on the slide in only one pair of pants and one shirt...our translator Tanya was not happy about that...oh well!!! Then she chastised us for walking him through the leaves because there is too much dust...I can't wait to get him home!!
Not much else going on here...court is a week from tomorrow - not that we're counting the days or anything...LOL...
Elissa - So great to hear from you!!! Drew and I are looking forward to your visit :)

So happy to hear that Drew is walking. He sounds just like a boy playing with rocks and twigs. As you probably know Rutgers lost, boo hoo. Daylight savings ended last night, so everyone got an extra hour sleep, yea right. Tell that to all the parents with little ones. Weather has finally changed here, turning much colder this week. By the time you come home maybe we will have snow, for sure when Drew comes home. Love to read your blogs, keep smiling and everyone will be home soon. Love youa all AL & UH
Oh you are such bad parents! 70 degrees and no hat and gloves? Shame Shame! ;)
Friends of ours adopted from Russia and some ladies at the airport came over and put their son's hat on him...IN the airport.
Sounds like he's doing great with your love.
I think it must be an adoptive parent right-of-passage to have to unwrap your child from underneath several layers of clothes! We had the same experience in Guatemala, and I've heard the same about China.
Sounds like Drew is thriving under your care!

It sounds like you guys had a great day. Hmmmm....the Sanders family...hanging out, sliding, walking, and breaking rules! We can't wait to meet him.

Drew sounds just amazing! I'm glad to hear that his development is coming along so well, and that you're feeling confident enough to take of some of those excessive clothes!
