Our dossier has left the country! This means that the adoption process begins in Ethiopia. The courts are closed until October, so not much will happen for a while. It is sort of like being 20 weeks pregnant, things don't feel too much different, but things are still happening. I expect the process to take longer this time than last time, but I am praying that we will be able to start sending letters and pictures. I am hoping she will get her welcome bag while there are still people in Ethiopia that I know.
The Ethiopian New Year was on Sept. 11. Here is a fun post about how the kids celebrated the holiday. We donated money for a sheep, maybe next year we will slaughter one in the back yard. That would get the neighbors excited. Maybe we will just have lamb chops with Berberi
Life in a small town with a large family. Trying to put God on display.

Ahhh! You're ahead of us! :)
I'm so excited for you guys and am excited to follow your journey as the day gets closer.
I think this time around the waiting will be so much easier too because Nes is already here. Plus you don't have to deal with court closure coming up. When I picked up my kids I had to deal with the Sheep. It was so digusting. Are you serious about your back yard. You know my sense of humor is weak!
I'm so excited! I remember how I felt when our dossier was mailed. I actually tracked it through the courier service. OCD, yep.
