Salem!!
OK, so this past Thursday we got some very exciting news...our court date is set for January 2nd. Although we cannot be MORE excited about going to Ethiopia to join our son, it seems very likely that if everything goes smoothly on our court day, we will be traveling to get him at the same time that my cousin Leilani will be getting married in California. Scott is actually the minister who is supposed to marry them. So hence the bittersweetness of it all. Of course, nothing is more important than our son joining our family, but I must say my heart was breaking a bit today when I had to break the news to Leilani. So, chica, please know we love you so much and could not be more excited for you and Chris...but I know God's plans are good and perfect. Your wedding is going to be the best day ever and even if we are on the other side of the world, we will be celebrating with you! We love you!!
Ok....I have lots of pics to upload here....Halloween stuff mainly and our first real snow....enjoy!!
yes, my husband IS weiring a skirt...oops I mean Kilt.
