Tyler is feeling better already and hasn't had a lot of ear pain since I picked him up on Monday. Whew! The doctor said that ear infections at his age are pretty bad so we are counting our lucky stars that it seemed to have been easy to beat. Thanks for the well wishes ~ seems they worked!
Gavin had an exciting day at school today ~ he had his first fire drill. He said he was scared when the alarm went off but they quickly got in line and "ran" outside (what a sight that must have been!). It was very dramatic and he couldn't wait until Tyler got off the bus so he could tell him all about it.
On the surrogacy front... I got to talk to Baby Mama yesterday ~ to protect her privacy, I'm going to nick name the intended parents but I promise not to shorten hers to B.M. because that just doesn't sound good! We're getting close to getting the contract signed and I believe we have all the kinks worked out... which means the transfer is just around the corner! Our tentative date is January 25th and I have a 10 day window that I will be in Hawaii. Shawn is coming for the majority of that, which is so exciting because his support is much needed and appreciated! Baby Mama is asking for requests on things we might want to do while we are in Hawaii... so any experienced travelers with advice would be fantastic! She has some ideas and Shawn is hoping we can do a Lost tour as we are big fans of the show. We're getting really excited to get started and also looking forward to meeting Baby Mama & Baby Daddy!
My training at the Region is half way done. I am getting really pumped up and am ready to get back to work! We've been open for over a month now but I will have been gone for two weeks by the time I get back to the office on Monday. I've learned a lot, which has been good, but I'm ready to have my life get back to normal for a bit. Or as normal as life can be during the crazy Holiday season.
Well so much for "quick" eh? I guess I had a lot to update you guys on.
Hope you are all having a great week!

Well I'm so glad he is feeling better and you're other son survived the fire drill (cute).
Wow about BM (I know I shouldn't use that) which only leaves me with 101 questions. I SO CAN RELATE (sincerely - for 6 years worth of struggling) and hope it all works out. Keep us posted. Sending positive thoughts your way friend.
Oh, a new baby soon. Yea! You only picked Hawaii parents so you could get a trip there, admit it!!
Amy...I didn't know you were planning to be a surrogate. That is amazing. I'm in awe of women who give the biggest gift without asking for anything in return. I am in awe of you!
I am sorry that you have to go to Hawaii to do it....not! I hope you have a wonderful time there. I assume you are talking about Oahu, which I do not know a lot about. If you are going to either Kauai or the Big Island, I can help.

Wow, Amy! How exciting! (I also didn't know - congrats!) I can suggest Kauai stuff too (but not Oahu so much...)
BTW, I'm a Lost-a-holic too. =)
Glad your little guy is feeling better!
So glad things are going well.
Sometimes it takes the rain to make the sun feel so good.
I never thought about a childs first school fire drill as being such an event! That's one of my most favorite things about being a parent...experienceing their life with them as they go through all their "firsts"...it's so fun to see how they react to new events, no matter how small.
Also, I can't wait to hear more about the surrogacy.
