One month, three months....

Today is the one-month mark of Drew coming home! I can't believe it's been a month already - crazy!! Drew is doing so great. I wonder what the people at the orphanage would think if they saw him now? Tomorrow we're going to W Va. so Drew can meet his older brothers and his grandparents and great grandmother. We can't wait to see everyone...

Today also is the three-month mark of meeting Drew. In fact it was right about this time on Oct. 17 that Patrick and I were eating lunch with Galina and she said she had two boys to show us. One she described as a "Russian boy who is very sick. He's not good." The other was Drew, whom she described as a "16-month old Kazakh boy. He's very good, very healthy. He's good."

I remember sitting in the orphanage director's office when they brought Drew in. He was scared. We were scared. He didn't make a sound. In fact, for two days he didn't make a peep.

Three months later - he's squealing and babbling and yelling and even crying up a storm!!

Amazing, huh???

I wonder what Drew will be like a year from now?? I can't even imagine...

We will be going to Taraz in March to meet our daughter - do you have any photos of the orphanage from your trip? Any advice for those waiting to travel?
Thank you - and congratulations!
