He has a name

Esteban Francis Fitzgibbons Goulet.

After much discussion, and to Julien's brother's dismay, Esteban will not be named Paul. We chose Francis as his middle name after St. Francis and after Sabeth's Grandpa Fitz. Sabeth and I are delighted with our baby's name and can't wait to get to Colombia.

Today we turned in what we believe is the last of the paperwork that Colombia needs before they will tell us when we can go meet Esteban. We hope to leave soon and may have to wait as late as March 1st to go.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers of support.

Godspeed. We'll be holding all three of you in our thoughts and prayers, and hope you are traveling south soon. Let us know when we can do anything else to help besides cheer and pray!
