WE ARE COMING HOME!!!

Praise the LORD!! We were cleared by the U.S. Embassy TODAY..We have our Embassy appt. early Monday morning....then we'll fly out of Ethiopia on Tuesday night!! We are so excited..Our airport homecoming will be on Wednesday early afternoon..... We are having a wonderful time of bonding!! It is VERY easy to love this sweet boy...He is calm, gentle and loving all the time. He is growing stronger each and every day he is in my arms. He is so smart...you can tell he is much older by all that he can do!! His size is very deceiving! He can clap, play peek a boo, he can "sign" that he is hungry and thirsty!! (i have no idea where he learned that) and he speaks many amaric words...It is so neat to hear and recognize that he knows his language...he babbles and talks all the time. He sleeps through the night and wakes up smiling...simply dreamy! He naps well every day and that allows helen and i to do school work. Helen and i walk to coffee each day and are having so much fun.

More soon...my boy is on the move so not much time to post....but i hope to post more pics soon..but that's our great news for the day!! Praising God for our beautiful boy...and missing my 4 babies back home!! Happy Friday to you all, kj
