The past few weeks, heck the past few months have been so hectic that we hardly know if we are coming or going. I have worked an insane schedule and with my type A personality and lackadaisical contractor I have quickly become the project manager of my house!!! Poor Cortney has worked so hard too and tried to keep me happy during each little catastrophe! All that being said our trip to Ethiopia will serve as our much needed vacation. Our court date is December 6th (prayers please that all things go as planned) and our travel dates are Jan 1st thru Jan 8th. We have decided that we will travel to Ethiopia on December 16th and remain in country until Jan 8th. We are so thankful that Ryan, Abby and Belay gave us permission to come early! So, we will be spending 22 nights in Addis!!! We are looking forward to the time we have alone with Ian to begin our very special bond with him. I am very excited that I will have 3 weeks away from anything to do with the house and work!!!
If meeting my son for the first time isn't enough...we will also be having Christmas with the Loeffens!!! I am so excited to meet Renee, Geert, Maryn and Keller in person!!!

Wow!! That's a long trip!! That's awesome that you get to stay so long - you'll really get to see and experience your baby's home! So excited that you have travel plans made - Christmas will be so fun for you guys!!
Aw! That is such a good idea- that way you can recoup and be all rested and prepared to meet that sweet boy! And not to mention get to spend so much time in his home country- what a blesssing! I am so jealous of your blog friend Christmas extravaganza! (I have decided to call it that) You guys are going to have a blast!
I am so excited for you guys. I think it will be a wonderful experience to be in Addis that long and really absorb what Ian has experienced in his first few months of life...to really understand his culture better. I told Renee that I am OH SO jealous that ya'll are spending Christmas together. Not only do I want to be there to get my Nathan...but I want to hang with you guys! Maybe one day before too long. After we are all settled with our new kiddos maybe Renee and Geert can drive up and we can drive over and meet up at your new house! Your house is about half way :) I can't wait to hear about your trip and your meeting Ian the first time. Come on Dec. 6th! Amy
