We're HOME!!



Well, here we are...Exhausted but elated none-the-less. Our "babies" are home in our arms. Justin, Zoe, and Davis. I'm going to make this brief and then the details will start coming in, in short quips as I have time.

Suffice it to say that the trip though short, made profound impacts on our lives. This was not only because of the three new lives joining us, but for the experiences we had in Ethiopia. The Lord had several divine appointments for us while we were there. We met some beautiful Christian people. We saw some heart wrending scenes. We took in some very interesting experiences. And again, our lives were changed because of all of it.

Ethiopia is full of beautiful people - both poor and rich, living basically side-by-side. We met many adoptive families in Ethiopia, that was heart lightening - even if there were 20 some crying babies on the plane ride home!

We got to experience the deep, deep love of a church family that does not hesitate to step in and do whatever is needed - Brenda, Linda, & Nancy - took care of our babies while we were gone. We will forever be indebted (a debt of love) to them. May the Lord pour out tremendous blessings on them.

Nancy kept up our blog for us while we were gone. She writes better than I do.

Much, much more to come.

Getting to Know You

I was able to talk very briefly with Pam today by text messaging, and all is well. She said they are a little more rested than they were yesterday, and they all have had a great time getting to know each other. Pam also said that she thinks the children get cuter and more adorable each time she looks at them...now that is love!

Tomorrow they will pack up and begin their journey home. I doubt that Justin, Davis and Zoey have ever seen an airport or an airplane or any of the new things they will see in the next 48 hours as they travel home. Please pray that they are not frightened of all the new sights and technology that we all take for granted. Pray for safe travel and a happy reunion with Leah, Annalyse, Dylan and Jaden..oh, and don't forget Cookie, the dog!
