Last week is a blur. We got a new court date and passed court all in the same week. How does that happen? Now what you ask? We leave for Ethiopia in just 9 short days! I can't believe our travel is so soon. I have been packing and gathering things like a mad woman. So here are the plans. I am going to Ethiopia without Cortney. He is sitting this one out and staying here because of some health issues that came up after our last trip to Ethiopia. Nothing bad, just need him on his game when we return and not out of commission for a month like last time. Who is going in his place??? It is a lengthy list. Ian of course is going with me. We debated about this..it was short...I am taking him. I just cannot be without him for a week. Cortney feels the same way but I am persuasive and I won. He will be grumpy during the plane rides I am certain but a delight during the trip I am hoping :) My sister, Jamie, my best friend, Andrea, and none other than THE Amy Breedlove. Oh did I mention that we are sharing the guest house with Lara Byars and little Mercy too? It is going to be one giant sized slumber party at Ayat house!!!
Not much longer now and I will get to look at those beautiful brown eyes in person!!!

WOW you leave so soon! That is wonderful news.
It is exciting that baby Ian is going. The plane will be hard, but worth it.
We are thinking about starting the adoption process again very soon, maybe we will take Gabre with us. I cannot wait to hear how that part goes.

We received more pictures from Gladney today of the time our girls spent in their care. They both immediately recognize Mekdes and are excited to see her. She is such a beautiful girl! And Faven says she is 'very nice'! Can't wait until you get to travel and bring her home!
woo hoo! It's gonna be a big ole slumber party.
See you in 5 more days! :)
