Ethiopia or BUST!

Got the call today! We are headed to Ethiopia the end of August to pick up the boys! It's a little less than 4 weeks away, but it doesn't matter. Just knowing that we are going, does wonders for my heart!

Please continue to pray that the boy's TB tests come back negative. We still don't have word on the results. And pray especially now for the boys...their world is about to be turned upside down! (Not to mention our world...) Pray that God grants them peace to know that they are safe with us. Pray that they will bond well with each of us and our transition to Mommy & Daddy will go smoothly. And pray for that little thing called a language barrier...should be interesting!! :)

My last day at work is this Friday. That will be transition enough! I've worked my whole life, so waking up Monday morning with no job to go to will be weird...but I'm SO looking forward to all the time I will have home with Charlie & Sam. Now the next 3 weeks will be completely devoted to getting everything together to bring the boys home...I feel a list coming on...Where's my notepad??

Don't worry buddy...we won't make you drink that anymore!!



But y'all can have a sucker anytime...
