Submitted to Court

Yay!! Good news today. All of the necessary documents have been gathered in Ethiopia and submitted to court. That means that we should hear when our court date is scheduled for in 2-4 weeks. Hopefully it will be a little shorter wait than that:o)

Also, Ali and I completed the Bethany 5k this afternoon. Ty volunteered to help with registrations for the race. Beau, Camden, Derrick, Shelby, Andrea, Julia and coach Bayles all can in support of Ali. It was 90 degrees, so the walk was a little warm, but still better than snow!!

One Month

Well,
It has been one month today since we received our referral for our new little guy. It is hard to wait while he is getting older without us. In some ways the waiting is harder than before we got the referral because now we know who we are waiting for:o) At the same time it is a little easier for the same reason. We are preparing for a little boy, who is bound to miss his Ethiopian family when he gets here. We have spent time preparing his bedroom, buying a booster seat and staring at things in the stores. We are trying to imagine what it would be like for us if someone came into our world and scooped us up, then took us to a place where nobody looked like us, talked like us, ate the food that we were use to, sometime it snows, and everything else we were accustomed to was different. We will try to remember how scary that would be during the first few weeks we have him home.

Waiting impatiently,
Sherry
