Update

We had a wonderful Christmas! We were able to spend some time with Guerlens and it was awesome! This little boy has stolen our hearts fully and our hearts ache to be with Caleb at the same time. We cannot wait until there are 4 kids stockings hanging up at Christmas! We are so thankful that we can send the gifts we got for Caleb down to Haiti with Mallery and Frentz!

We received our Haitian Dossier packet a couple weeks ago and...WOW! There is a lot of documentation we need! Even though adopting from Ethiopia was difficult and chock full of paperwork, there seems to be even more things needed for Haiti! We have begun the loooong process of gathering this paperwork and it feels a bit overwhelming. But even when I can check one item off the to do list, it feels good and we are that much closer to getting that dossier to Haiti.
We are STILL waiting on a surgery date for Guerlens. We have been told that his surgery will be in NY and that it will be scheduled for late Jan./ early Feb. but an exact date has yet to be determined. We are anxious for this final date!

Guerlens is a very bright little guy. He is so alert, has strong eye contact and is very attached to Mallery, which is encouraging to us. He likes to be held ALL the time and does not like to be put down:) He eats like a bottomless pit and is not picky AT ALL! He likes animals..he'll chase our cats around the house and Mallery told us that he is now saying the word "dog" and will chase her dog around their house and play with the dog toys:) He is smiley and sweet and very charming.
He and Caleb are such gifts and we are thankful!
