Precious

Have I mentioned just how cute this little guy is?

He continues to blossom and grow into such a sweet little boy. I'm hopeful that he carries at least some of that with him later on.

He had a great day today. He has talked and played and smiled all evening. He's more mobile and getting into lots of stuff. Not sure exactly what he's saying most of the time, but he loves to talk (Charlie says he's just like me). He has now discovered that he can raise his voice. Not always the best thing to do in all situations, but we still think it's cute.

He is not the most patient child I've ever seen. When he's eating, if we're not feeding him fast enough, he certainly lets us know.

We had our Parents As Teachers evaluation today. That went very well. I loved our case manager. She was wonderful with Ian and gave us lots of good materials to read and use. He seemed to really enjoy her. She's coming back on May 25th for another visit and then again in June. They are off July and August, then we'll start up again in September.

Several Dillon families are getting ready to travel to India to pick up their children. Two families are leaving tomorrow and another one is leaving next week. We're still waiting on the final travel plans for our friends Angie and Dustin. They're just waiting for confirmation that the US Consulate office in Kolkata has received their approval. Hopefully that confirmation will come tomorrow. If so, then I think they're planning to leave next week and will probably get Mia Supritha on or around Mother's Day. What a wonderful Mother's Day gift. It doesn't really matter....it's a wonderful gift from God no matter what day it is. Please continue to pray for Angie & Dustin. I know this time is frustrating for them. I remember when all of the other families were getting their passports and making their travel arrangements and we were still waiting. While we were happy for those other folks, it was extremely hard for us. I know that this is difficult for them as well.

More updates on the Incredible Ian soon.
