Thanks for all the congratulations everyone!!! They really makes us smile from 6,000 miles away...it gets hard being so far away from home for so long and knowing all of you are rooting for us helps keep our spirits up - between the blog, the e-mails and the IMs...I'm feeling the love! :) We are truly blessed with not only a wonderful son, but a great family and friends...
Nothing much going on today...had a good visit with Drew - he's definitely walking much better than he was when we first met him and he's not as reluctant to walk either - both are good signs. He went right for the food again today...it makes me laugh when he does that.
We still don't know exactly when we can come back for Drew after court and how long exactly Patrick will have to stay - we hope to find out this week.
We did find out that when we take the train from Taraz to Amaty on Nov. 12 after court it will be the Spanish train, rather than the Soviet train. As you can probably tell by the names of the trains - the Spanish one is much better!!!! We took the Soviet one here and let's just say, I think it was built when the Soviet Union first formed, rather than closer to when it disbanded...
Not much else going on here today... hope everyone in the US has a good Saturday...and can someone e-mail me or message the blog as to when Daylight Savings Time ends?? Thanks!!! :)
As a side note...I don't think I ever explained how we picked the name Drew Sebastian for our little one. It's Jewish tradition to name a child after people who are special to you who are no longer with you. Typically, you use the first letter of the person's name, or you can use the person's actual name. So Drew Sebastian is named for my father David and my mother Sharon, both of whom I miss very much who would have been so happy to have a new grandson and loved him to pieces...
So - that's it from Taraz...I'll check back tomorrow. Gotta say, this place would be better if they had college football on Saturdays!! Go RU!!!!

The 12th will be here before you know it. At least now you can just enjoy each day you have with Drew without worrying about that part. It's so wonderful how you got his name, and I'm sure he will learn all about your parents.
From your online "friend", sending cyberhugs your way. It must be so hard to be away from your family. On the other hand, it's so special that you are getting to spend time in Drew's birth country. Think about all you will be able to tell him as he gets older.
DST ends tonight. :)
Beth & Patgrick,
Tony and I are so happy for you. Drew is so beautiful. We have enjoyed reading your blogs. Thank you for including us and sharing with us all that is going on with you. You are very blessed. Drew is a very fortunate boy to have the two of you for parents. Take care. I wil have to plan to come to CT to meet him! :)
