Yes indeed, I just looked back and realized I haven't even written a blog since I could mention my son's name and picture. *sigh* This is why I avoid blogging. Once you start, there is an expectation that you would continue to write on a more than bi-annual basis.
Well, I doubt any amount of guilt I am feeling right now will be strong enough to keep me blogging as often as my family wishes, but it is enough to get me to post an adoption update. I'm sure everyone who is reading this already knows, but we are eagerly expecting sometime this November to bring home our son, David Gordon TianXiang Staege!! I will post the timeline of events below, but just today we received our I-800 provisional approval, which puts our wait time at about a month and a half until we get to pick up our little man! Miriam keeps saying she hopes he comes home by her birthday (Nov 23rd) because it would make a really good birthday present. I agree!
Without further ado, here are some pictures of our handsome boy!
Here is David at 7 months old - fat and healthy after recovering from serious illness!
