Surprise!!

Well, we finally made it to Maryland, and our household goods should arrive tomorrow.  So hopefully after about 2-3 days of unpacking chaos, normal Saylor life will return!  Although since I am no longer teaching, don't know anyone within 500 miles, and have no idea where anything is located in this town, I am not sure what "normal" will be?  But I am looking forward to finding out.

On our 8th day of our cross country trip, I received an email from our agency with an update we had requested weeks ago.  Truthfully, with all of the craziness of leaving CA and being crammed in a van with three kids and our cat, the long wait for this update hadn't even been on my mind.  So you can imagine my wonderful surprise when I saw an email from WACAP with the words "update" and "pics"!  It is the only information we have received other than what was in his initial agency file.  And guess who is growing up??

It is Mycah Ryan Saylor!

He looks like such a big boy compared to his earlier pics. 

Look at the cuteness!!

We also found out that he is in the Qingyuan City SWI (orphanage), not in a foster home.  He has been healthy recently and is not currently on medication.  The last part surprised me, as his file diagnosis (Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia) would necessitate daily meds.  (Apparently we need to make quick friends with the pediatric endocrinologist at Andrews AFB!)  He weighs about 30 lbs and is 36 inches tall, which puts him somewhere in between a 2T and 3T I think.  Looks like he will fit right in with the rest of my skinny boys:)  So can't wait for him to come home...nothing like "expecting" for 12 months!  I pray it goes quickly for both of us!
