Bummer

Salem!
So I can't believe our dossier has already been out of our hands for a month now! That is one advantage to being busy I guess, time flies! So last week was fun, we went to Easton, PA to visit with Scott's uncle and sister's family. It was a fun time, but I must say that we were bummed as Thursday came and went. That was the last day to get a referral and be able to travel before the courts closed in Ethiopia. (They close the courts due to rainy season from August 1 to October 1.) I know we were wishful thinking, but it would have been cool to get a referral by then. Oh well, we can still get referrals during this time, but would not be able to travel to get our child until October. Anyway, I keep reminding myself that this is all in God's timing and not my own. He knows what is best for us as a family, not me(-:
Kudos to all of you with multiple children! We brought our 2 nephews back home with us for the week, and holy guacamole!!! Its no wonder Starbucks is making it big!

Here is a pic of Elijah from the slide at camp, as promised....

It was so much fun!

As we were leaving and packing up the vehicles,

I walked by one of the doors and this is what I saw...

He was so ready to go home, but to tired to get in the car,

so he laid his pillow and blankie down right there...
