a VERY HAPPY New Year!!!

I am still in shock, but SO HAPPY to report that we got our court date this morning!!!  It's January 19, which means that we have TWO WEEKS to get our act together and get on a plane for Ethiopia!  This is all happening about a month sooner than we expected, so we're both pretty frazzled at this point.  When I told Rob about it, he told me to stop praying for things to move quickly :-)  So, thank you to all of you who have been praying.  I think the real hurdle will be the Embassy process, but we're trusting the Lord to move.

We get to meet our little Lottie on Monday, January 16 and I cannot WAIT!

  2. Oh I just can't imagine the excitement that is going through your house/heart right now. I am so thankful it is moving so quickly for yall. I can't wait for the day you can fly home with that little lady :) The Lord has already blessed her in such a huge way to allow her to have a home/family with you two.

  7. Have been following your blog for awhile! We were a little ahead of you on the list, but we switched to China SN this past May. We should be traveling next month to get our little girl! SO thrilled for you guys that you got a court date so quickly! That is amazing! Praying it's a quick turn around after that for Embassy. And love your little girl's name....so cute!

    Blessings,
