Introducing Cade

Since we accepted Lui Jun Jie's referral, Bob and I couldn't agree on a name. Two weeks ago our agency needed his new name so that we could complete some of the necessary papers in order to get a visa. After much discussion we finally agreed upon a name - Caden Dean Junjie Tarwater.

Caden was born 12/10/09 and is currently 14 months old. We received these updated pics of him at the beginning of Jan.





He had his palate repaired in December. It will be nice not to have to rush around trying to get that fixed when he gets home. He is a big boy - 25lbs and 29in (as of 12/30/2010). We aren't sure what size he is now but we are estimating around 24month or 2T size.

We have decided for this trip that Bob will travel with his mom. I am disappointed that I am not able to go, but Nathan has been so sick the past couple of months and we can't risk both of us being gone for two weeks. We are estimating travel between the middle of April and the beginning of May. We hope you follow along on our journey. We can't wait to bring Caden home.
