What a great son

Wow - we have an awesome son!  So Friday morning Nate work up early so I could see him before I left for work (NOT typical as I leave close to 6:30 am).  Anyhow as I was packing my lunch and he was trying to get some breakfast he told me he had a dream about his "little brother" last night.
          (comment inserted) - we do not know if we are adopting a boy or girl as we are leaving that up to God.    
          How ever, I feel we will have a boy.  But we all remind each other - and Nate reminds me often -
           Mommy it may be a sister too
 So he said, but mommy, there were a lot more than just one brother.  There were a bunch of kids.  And we were playing, but it was hard.  I asked - what was hard and how many kids.  He said a lot of kids and NONE Of them spoke our language.  But they did later and then it was a lot of fun. But mommy we aren't getting a lot of kids are we?  I just want one.  me - don't worry honey - just one.  Good!

Just thought it was so sweet - he really does talk about his future sibling and wants to meet them.  Earlier int he week he was very concerned we won't be able to talk or understand them.  I told him we will get some dictionaries and learn some of the Amharic language - their language.  They have a book for kids and one for big people.  We'll probably get both.  He said no - I want the big one so we can learn a lot and be able to talk to him (yes - we are all starting to say HIM a lot).  But a girl will be just as good.

Just can't wait - we go visit Home Land Security this next week - wish us luck.  Got more of Craig's paper work today and need to get a few more and then we are good to go!  I need to get passport pictures and the local police background -but that will require me to take some time off work - which I'm hoping to avoid as much as possible.  Mostly because I want to save EVERY second of my vacation time for our next child and our travels.

Thanks for reading all - love, Gail, Craig and Nate
