Court Date!

November 5th is the big day!!! We are so excited to finally have our court date. Hopefully we will pass court and have our son home before Christmas!

Our son and daughter can't wait to meet their new little brother! They ran around screaming for fifteen minutes after we got the call this morning. These past three months of waiting for the court date have seemed like an eternity to them. I know these next two weeks will go by quickly now that we can mark the days off on the calender.

We are praying other families will get court dates soon!

Waiting .......

We are still waiting for a court date and it seems that we could be waiting for quite a while longer. We received our referral on July 21. It is difficult to remain content when the process moved so quickly for families who received their referrals in the weeks and months before us. Tuesday marked 10 weeks waiting for a court date.

Several travelling families took pictures for us and it has been wonderful to have so many pictures to look at during this waiting time.
Hopefully we will get a court date as soon as the courts open on October 12th, if they open then. We are praying for the families who lost their October 5th court dates.

I spent this last weekend getting the room ready for our son. It was fun to get out all of our older's son's clothes out (he is 5). Does anyone have a good idea on how to figure out shoe size? I am thinking that I may just bring two or three different sizes with me to Ethiopia. Any other suggestions?
