Monthly update: November 2005

Four months old...

The staff at the orphanage must've been busy taking pictures this month because we got a ton! To see those Quintessentially Qute Quentin pictures, go to www.quentintsui.shutterfly.com (aren't I clever? hee hee!). We were also fortunate to get a few extra pictures from one of the families on our newsgroup who traveled to Taiwan this month.

You'll notice in several of the pictures that Quentin is wearing a little onesie with a duckie on it and some yellow pants. We sent those to him! We also sent the light green and pink stuffed frog as well as a picture of ourselves so he can start to recognize our faces (hopefully). It is surreal to see things that we touched appear with him halfway around the world. You'll probably also note that in a few pictures it looks like they tried to tame the wild beast that is his hair. Although the comb-over look does have it's charms, I think we'll stick with the crazy spiky hair once we get him home :)
