a christmas trip to ethiopia!


merry christmas to us!!!


today has been a wonderful day...we received 11 pictures of our little nathanel and also got word of our court dates! what a blessing both are :)

first things first, the pictures are absolutely adorable. it looks like our little guy is very happy and healthy, and we can't wait to finally meet him in person. oh how i wish i could post the pictures on here but i can't :( however, i will say that i'm pretty sure that he has the cutest big brown eyes ever!! ryan was so jealous because lesley emailed the pictures to me and i got to see them way before him. i forwarded them to him as soon as i got them but his poor computer took so long to download the email because of the huge file sizes. sorry dear!

secondly, we are officially due in court in ethiopia on december 21st. wahoo!! what a wonderful way to celebrate the birth of our Savior! we are already beginning to look into flights and will most likely be leaving the US on december 17th and returning on december 23, just in time for christmas eve parties! we are excited to know that we will be traveling with 2 other families who are also from louisville and will be meeting up with 2 more families from other parts of the country but that are using our same agency. i can't believe we finally have a date! let the count down begin...
