Time to Travel !

Well, at long last we have recieved our approval to travel to pick up ALL THREE of our children! 

We will be traveling to Addis Ababa through Dubai.  Our whole family needs your prayers for protection.  Already this week, days before we are leaving, our oldest daughter Bethanie, broke her arm.
 :( 

We are SO EXCITED!  We will post pictures and more info when we get back and we are able to catch our breath!

Thanks again for all of your support!

Zoo with Sue



Some of the older kids got to have an outing with the director, Sue while she was in Addis Ababa.  What a treat!  Here is our Gezaw and Dibora!  I LOVE her hair!

The girls meet their new brother!


Girls, this is Gezaw.  Here is your new brother.  Why don't you come over here and give him a hug? 

What ... and get Boy Cooties?

Zakeya's face is priceless!
