I can hardly believe in 12 days we will be getting on a plane for an experience of a lifetime. Throughout this whole adoption process it seemed like the end would never actually be here and now as we prepare to bring our two little boys home it seems that we are so close to the end. Mark and I have counted our blessings many times throughout this adoption, it has been an amazing journey. We have met many people that have become friends along the way, our court date went smooth (our hearts go out to those whose have not went as smoothly as ours) and we have two darling little boys waiting for us in Ethiopia.
Mark and I will be unable to attend the next get together as we will be beginning our journey on that day. We will be thinking about all of you that are waiting for your referrals, or waiting to travel or waiting to get the completed I-171H form and knowing that there will be an sweet little one waiting for you at the end of your journey. We know that is just the beginning of a life fully of new and exciting experiences for both our little boys and us and we can't wait.
During Beth and Deanna trip to pick up their little ones they took pictures of our boys and that made a tremendous difference while we waited. If I can do that for you that are waiting please let me know.
Sorry to keep this so short however I have a lot of cleaning, childproofing our house, and packing to complete.

Please, please, take pictures of Benjamin Dawit for us!!! Pick him up, love him, talk to him, put some BLUE clothes on him, and we will be forever grateful!!!
I am so excited for you, Wendy and Mark! We are bummed that you won't be able to make it to the next get-together, but I think you have a pretty good excuse. :) We wish you safety and the experience of a lifetime!
12 days!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!! I'm so excited!
Maybe I will have a referral before you leave so I can ask you to take pictures. Otherwise, please just take pics of every child/baby and I will just dream about which ones God has chosen for us! I cannot wait for you to hold your boys!
Hi Wendy - Oh, yes, please could you take pictures of Sarah Kalkidan for us?? Could you give her a hug and kiss for me? I will be SO excited to see what she looks like now and your opinion on how big she is (what size clothes???!!). THANKS!!!!
