CONTINUED EXCITEMENT

We had a hard time sleeping last night. Our new son's precious face is etched in our minds. We can hardly wait to meet that sweet thing!! Alot of you have inquired about his name. His given Russian name is Alexander and that's all we know. He was born Feb. 8, 2002. We have considered the names of Andrew Jason, Andrew James, and Jason James. We thought it would be cool to keep the initials AJ (originally Annie Jane). We believe God had intended AJ all along. We were just expecting it to be a girl!!!! We are excited about seeing him on Monday. We have a 14 hour train ride leaving Sunday at 6pm and getting into his region at 8am Monday morning. The region were Alexander is from is the Crimerian region. It is south of Kiev, about 2 hours from Odessa, which sits right on the Black Sea. The Carpathian Mts. are close by also. We hear that the region is a beautiful area and the orphange where Alexander is from is a very good one. We are getting prepared to meet him. Today we bought bubbles, crayons, a coloring book, and a cool police car. Thanks for all of your emails and comments!! We will keep you posted.
