Finally, an Update!

Well, we are leaving in 2 days!  We were able to request an update, though as the time has been drawing so close to travel, we doubted we would get one.  But, this morning an email came through, making my day!  2 new pictures and answers to our questions!  So, my boy is 22 pounds, 30.7 inches.  He is finally walking but not talking.  He is not potty trained (I did have my fingers crossed  :)  ) and drinks mostly from a bottle.  He is an early riser and his favorite toys are  "boy toys", such as cars.  Julian's dreams are coming true!  A brother who likes to play with cars!  Also, he was wearing a green shirt in each picture, which is my favorite color...tell me he is not meant to be my son  :)  But really, he looks happy and healthy in each picture.  I can't wait to get him, and hold him, and finally begin to have him feel the love that has been bubbling over for him.  Our prayer is that God has been preparing his little heart for us so that supernaturally he will feel at peace and at home with us, immediately.  We are confident that our Great Physician can, and has already begun, healing any hurt that he has.   We will be able to pick him up on Monday, Dec. 5th, so just one more week in an orphanage for this baby.  Hold on Nolan!  We're coming!  Here are his adorable pictures.

Meet Nolan!

Nolan was born on December 23rd, 2009 in Shanghai, China.  His Chinese name is Feng ShengCheng.  He was referred to our family for adoption on June 27th at 10pm.  We got the call, then the email, and then saw his precious face for the first time.  We both giggled.  His sweet face immediately brought a smile to ours!  We got 3 pictures of him and he was smiling in each one.  He was described as clever and always having a ready smile.  He was wearing a little yellow jacket, with red flowers and little lambs.  Indeed, he is our little lost sheep, and we will go find him.  We are eagerly awaiting our travel appointments to bring him home!
