- In 7 days we board a plane to pick up this little ray of sunshine. By Sunday or Monday, he will finally be opening the door for HIS mama. Our waiting is almost over my son.
- Our embassy appointment was confirmed today. Hip Hip Hooray!
- Chad and I took the better part of the day off to hang out together. We went for lunch, took a nap, and ran some errands at a leisurely pace.
- All the kids' end of the year projects for school have been turned in or presented. They still have classes until Thursday, but it is all fun and games.
- We have the shoes boxed up and ready to ship. We have been surprised by a few generous friends and the shipping costs are 100% covered by donations!
- Our friends FINALLY passed court! We will not be traveling together, which is a bummer. But the boys are officially theirs!
- We sold our old camper this week. That money will cover my and Joshua Gebeyehu's travel expenses.
- Brenna has her first loose tooth.
- My yard is mowed and my flowers are planted - some are even blooming.

"Sing to God, sing praises to His name,
Extol Him who rides the clouds-
His name is the Lord-
and rejoice before Him.
A father to the fatherless,
a defender of widows,
is God in His holy dwelling.
God sets the lonely in families."
Psalm 68: 4-6
I rejoice in you today, Jesus. Thank you for watching over each and every detail of this journey.
