Introducing...

I almost forgot. I should make a formal announcement, or as formal as possible on a blog.

Introducing:

Moses Wetu Pattison
Son of Dustin and Cara Pattison
Born: January 2nd, 2008 (supposed to be the 1st, lawyer's mistake)
Adopted: November 17th, 2008
Twenty-something pounds and lots of inches

His middle name, Wetu, means "ours" or "ours from God." It's from the Yao tribe. This name was prearranged by our Malawian friend Margaret for our first child, who just happens to be Moses! This name has special significance as several "prophets" in our lives have suggested that Moses is "for the community." He belongs to all of us. He is OURS. Or at least he will be after I've had plenty of one-on-one snuggle time!

Ta da!

Cara - thanks so much for the lengthy update! (sorry you're not feeling well, tho!)

I was thinking, when Moses and Dustin come home, you should hire a photographer (or if you have a friend), to join you at the airport. I was catching up on blogs the other day and saw the most amazing portraits of a "welcome home" baby adoption from Vietnam. After all this waiting, you definitely need some good documentation of the first moments with your son (and reunion with Dustin now that you are a family of three!!)

Congrats again!! Can't wait to meet Moses!

Yay for his precious cuteness!
