We leave tomorrow!

Chad writing: Hard to believe, but we leave tomorrow. We will drive up to Chicago tomorrow morning and board a plane for Dulles in the afternoon. Between the five of us we have 11 bags/boxes (4 of them are crammed full of donations for the transition home). Please say a prayer that United will waive the fee on them since they are donations.

We continue to ask for you to pray for us on this trip. We have had a few instances of snafus that I am convinced are happening to harry us as we go forward. The first was an administrative error by Ethiopian Air to charge us twice for our tickets (resolved...I think!). The second was the FedEx delivery this morning of our tickets that was soaking wet--we had papers and tickets spread out over our dining room table air drying (a little crumpled, but still legible!).

It is all worth it (and, yes, we have a boy's bike waiting for him!)...


Melissa writing: We are on our way, sweet Eyob. The time has FINALLY come to bring you home. We cannot wait to hold you in our arms! You have waited so long...but not much longer!!! We love you so much.

Sarah Beth and I read the blog today and she was excited to look at the new picture of Gabriel. We also went to her blog and she enjoyed looking at the pictures.

We are praying for you each night in our nighttime prayers.
She loves and misses you!
