Ethiopia, here we come!

We're leaving, on a jet plane...don't know when we'll be back again...
Actually we do! We're leaving September 4 to pick up baby Owen and coming home September 12. SO exciting. If I'm not able to access facebook while we're in Ethiopia, we will be using blogspot to keep everyone posted on the happenings while we're there. Can't wait to meet our son! Praise the Lord! We are scheduled to arrive Saturday the 5th, rest on the 6th, sightsee on the 7th and 8th(Travis's birthday) and pick up our son on the 9th! We'll be at the American Embassy all day on the 10th and then picking up Owen's passport hopefully at the end of the day. Usually you pick up the passport the next day, but that falls on the Ethiopian New Year and the office will be closed. We're leaving that Friday night, the 11th, at 10:15pm and arriving home Saturday evening!
Baby boy, God has a mighty plan for you! Mama and Daddy are coming to take you home!

BIG DAY







First, I'm sorry I forgot to post that we were scheduled a court date of Aug. 5th. So I've said I'm a bad blogger and I wasn't kidding! We passed court today and Owen is officially ours! We should be traveling to pick him up sometime next month, probably early in the month! WHO'S EXCITED...me. God is faithful and righteous, and he blesses me with another son. I'm overwhelmed...with love, and it's good. Anyway, here's some pics of baby Owen!
