It's time for an extremely exciting update! Tom and I accepted our referral last Friday night. We are going to name him Cameron Carlpatrick after both of his grandfathers. Yesterday, we received the video, and have watched it already at least 10 times. He is so sweet and cute! The caregiver was trying to get him to smile. He did a little, but he was still getting over being sick when the video was made. And, if that's not enough good news, our dossier has left the Kaz Embassy in NYC and is on it's way to Kazakhstan. This means that in a month, we should get our travel dates!

We spent the weekend painting Cameron's bedroom. We've made really good progress, but still have a ways to go. I can't wait to experiment with painting a sky on the ceiling. I have these images in my mind of Cameron laying in his bed, looking up at a starry sky.
