Lost in the Paperwork!

We are currently getting all of our documents together for our Embassy appointment, which will be (hopefully) around the 28th....as I sit here doing this paperwork I am wondering what they are doing right now! Well, probably sleeping since our waking hours are their sleeping hours!! My heart melted when I saw the pic of Ermias holding the football we sent him about a month ago in a care package. We are happy that they are smiling, and that other sweet families have taken the time to snap pictures of them, as well as Sue, the agency director. Also note the pic of Eyasu (Joshua) smiling!!!! This is honestly the first full smile we have seen! On to more paperwork....... ( I am also completing my continuing education requirements for the year!)

New pics posted!!!

I just posted pics of the boys, but I am having technical difficulties figuring out the blog layout, and not much time to fool with it as I am trying to complete my Cont. Ed hours before 2010~~~!!!!

WE PASSED COURT!!!!

A little late on the update, due to the holiday craziness!!! But we passed court on 12-22, actually a day early!!!! To follow, pics of the boys! We are officially allowed to post now!!! We should be traveling around the last wk of January to pick them up!!!!!! God is great and we are so blessed!!!

Court Date!!!!

For those of you who haven't heard yet, our court date is December 23rd! What a wonderful Christmas present (if we pass (:)  50 to 60 percent of cases pass court the first time. The reason some people don't pass is due to various reasons such as a name being spelled wrong or certain paperwork not submitted yet. If we don't pass court, it will be another 3 to 4 weeks to reschedule a second court date.  If we do pass court, our Embassy appointment will be in 5 to 6 weeks and we will be traveling to Ethiopia to pick up our little boys!! So between passing court and our embassy appointment, we will be trying to get their room together!!! We already have their bedding, we just need to get beds, mattresses, etc.  Hopefully the next post will be that we passed court!!! Happy Holidays everyone!
