Court Date

Well, we finally got our court date! It is May 20th. We have our plane tickets and hotel booked. It is now less than 4 weeks and we are pretty excited to meet our boys! Ethiopian government has been making changes around adoption processes and we have seen additional delay because of it. We are still hoping that our immigration date will still come 4-6 weeks after our court date though. That will be a very hard wait after we have met our boys. Praying for them to come home as quickly as possible. Also, once we pass court, they are officially our sons so we will finally be able to share pictures!

Not only is a new world possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day I can hear her breathing.

Gratitude


Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.

It turns what we have into enough,

and more.

It turns denial into acceptance,

chaos into order,

confusion into clarity....

It turns problems into gifts,

failures into success,

the unexpected into perfect timing,

and mistakes into important events.

Gratitude makes sense of our past,

brings peace for today

and creates a vision for tomorrow.
