We Have a Court Date

May 19th is the day.

If we pass, we travel three weeks later. Possibly around the week of June 8th, which happens to be Dustin's 40th birthday. Hopefully we are celebrating in Ethiopia!

Praising God for His perfect timing in all things.

One Month of Waiting for Our Court Date Includes...

One month of re-arranging bedrooms.

One month of painting shades of pink, chocolate and avocado green in various rooms in the house (not all in the same room!)

One month of remodeling a bathroom to make more room.

One month of extending our kitchen bar so we can add more stools.

One month of waiting for bunk beds to arrive.

One month of staring at three little Ethiopian faces many times a day.

One month of sharing their photograph with anyone and everyone.

One month of guessing when we will be assigned a court date.

One month of massive closet/cabinet/drawer clean-out.

One month of shopping for undies, socks, toothbrushes and guessing clothes sizes.

One month closer to becoming a family of seven!

H Turns Five Today

Happy 5th Birthday H!  We woke up this morning celebrating this day for you.  Aunt Shelley sent an email early this morning and was the first to wish you a happy birthday.

Our hearts have fallen head over heals in love for you Sweet One.  We talk of you and your sisters often.  We are busy painting bedrooms and getting the house ready.  We ordered bunk beds for you and Sage to share a room.  He is super excited.

We are thankful for you.  We are thankful for the day you were born.  We are thankful for the day when we can meet and become family.  Happy Birthday!
