We have our court date!

Hi everyone! We have big news. We have our court date in Ethiopia! We anticipate travelling over there around the last week of April. We will be there about a week. We can't give any specifics out of respect to the Ethiopian government. That is also why we haven't posted on this blog for awhile. There will be more posts in the coming days. We are basically looking at being over there in a little over a month! We will be making travel arrangements shortly.

We will be getting two boys. One is ten months old and the other is three weeks old. We can't publish their names or pictures or any other details (out of respect to the Ethiopian government), but we can tell you they are healthy and beautiful! Just seeing their pictures has brought us more joy than we've ever known. We look forward to the day when you can meet them.

We want to express our gratitude for those of you who have kept us in your thoughts and said a prayer for us. We have seen God at work during this whole process. (We've had a lot of ups and downs, but we know everything happens for a reason, even if we don't understand the whys). We are the most optimistic we've ever been in our lives. To think that we will will be holding our children next month is amazing.

We have registered at Target and will be registering at Babies R Us this weekend. The next few weeks are going to be very busy for us, so we may not see some of you until after we get our boys. Until then thanks to all and God Bless.

Steve and Jodi
