Exciting times!

It's been forever since we've blogged....didn't make the priority list like I thought it would when it started. But, we've had an exciting few weeks:

-We had 3 of our 4 homestudy visits. The final visit is in a week or so when we get everything put together.
-We've completed our Dossier stuff and are waiting to get the homestudy to ship it all off.
-We got to greet our good friends at the airport when they returned with their adorable boy from Ethiopia. They looked REALLY tired, but also very excited.
-Chris got his passport in the mail and thinks the picture isn't as dorky as he thought.
-We've cherished times with our girls and have been thankful that God has blessed our family so much. Lord willing, there will soon be 3 girls in our home and God has given us a waiting period so we can get to know them and their personalities more and more every day.


Paisley starts preschool next week. Ugh. It kind of makes me nauseous that my first is old enough to go to preschool. She is really excited. She has a super cool Tinkerbell backpack for the first day. Majil is busy...had her second birthday. She has been talking quite a bit since she got her tubes in her ears earlier this year, but in the last few weeks has exploded with a . It cracks me up..."Daddy, Daddy....swimming pool....come!" Ok, so that's not an example of a sentence, but it's really cute to hear her say it.

So hopefully on the waitlist soon. We're excited to see what God has in store for us.

Oh...and, we're reading "There's No Me Without You"...it is a MUST READ for anyone adopting through Ethiopia. The statistics in the first two chapters are mind-boggling. If you haven't heard about it, click here.

I've been wondering what you guys have been up to! It looks like you've been booking it! Your girls are so beautiful by the way. And I agree that that book is a must for all Ethiopian adopting parents to be.
