We are so happy to post that we have our Court Date, this Tuesday...May 19! Yes, it is sooner than we anticipated & then there has been some time confirming that this is actually the day...and yes, it is! There are a million questions, what is a court date? in very basic terms this is a time when the Ethiopian government reviews the paperwork & hopefully will say they are A-OK & then the final steps for the final paperwork & then we travel (approx. 5+ weeks later) Right now, 50% of the cases "pass" court, so we are asking for you to pray that judge will look favorably & "pass"! We feel so humbled by how things have been moving in the past few weeks & we thank the Lord & everyone that has prayed on our behalf! The actual time of "court" will probably be during our Monday night, Tuesday early morning since they are 7 hours ahead of us in Ethiopia...so we hope to find out "good" news by later on Tuesday. Check back, we'll keep you posted! Much love & so much appreciation for your prayers!!!!
We have prayed & prayed & we are thankful that we had a little getaway planned to Niagara Falls the past few days with the boys...it was so nice to pass time, but it is a crazy feeling thinking every little bit what it would be like to have Ellyana with us...we just can't wait!
Mother's Day celebration at an Ethiopian restaurant...we loved it! Zach ate the most we have ever seen him eat...we think it may have been the fun of getting to use his fingers instead of silverware...the food was very delicious too!
Niagara Falls...an amazing, awesome experience!!!
Hooray, you're getting so close! Praying for you and Ellyana.
