Sleepy Boy Yesterday
We are having so many firsts with our little one. Yesterday we got there a little later than usual and he was so very tired. He was trying his hardest to stay awake, but by the time he had to go back he could not fight sleep any longer. When our translator took him from John (who hogs him by they way:) he reached his tiny little hand towards him as they left the room. It was very adorable.
Today we started some of our court paperwork. There is nothing like being in a room with 7 women speaking Russian very quickly to make you feel absoultly clueless. We also found out they might have an apartment for us. We will look this afternoon and see if it is really an option.
Today we are also going to get to go to the outdoor market to get some clothes for the little guy. They don't have much that will fit him there because he is so small. Right now he is only fed formula and probably will be for a while until we can beef him up a bit.
Here are more measurments but remember that we will not be home until June (unless we get a mirical) so he should grow some.
Chest 6.25 in.
Head 14.96
inseam: 16.5
waist 17
Tonight we will get to go to the English discussion group. I am not sure what to expect, but it will be fun to step out of our comfort zone a bit.
Until tomorrow . . .

When we saw your title, we thought for sure you were talking about John! But it was the OTHER little tyke that was too tuckered to trot.
He sounds like such an adorable little boy and has obviously bonded with both of you already.
Looks like you'll be able to use a lot of those clothes waiting for you back home after all... :-)
Again, we're so excited for all three of you!
Lots of love,
Christy and Jeff
We are so happy for you and excited. Would it do any good to mail clothes to you or would they arrive after you are on your way home? I am sure you will be overloaded with clothes here:-)Linda is getting us all organized
:-)The anticipation is overwhelming for us. I can't imagine how you are keeping your feet on the ground.
Our love and b est wishes,
Jim and Beth
I forgot to ask. do you have a car seat that will work for an infant?? do we need to borrow one for you??
Hey, that was a good question ~ the carseat one. . . Your friends sure do know lots of practical things. It is fun hearing about this little guy. Love the image of his sleepy little hand reaching out towards John.
Have a ton of fun with the English speakers. It will be great! I got to teach an ESL class here at the JCC once to immigrants from Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, etc. It was very cool.
Love you,
Sharron
What an exciting adventure your on. Niki and I are so happy for you and the little Mr. Decker.
I'll start saving extra eggs for you, lots of protein for the little guy.

Karon and John--I am so delighted for you! What a wonderful blessing, and God had him picked especially out for you from the beginning! Do you know how much he weighs? I'm all geared up for sewing for little boys, so I'm all ready to go for him! Take care, and know that our prayers are with you!

Not much new here...just sunny weather!
I am searching for little boy stuff for you....
