We are just 24 hours away from lift off here in KY. My group is thrilled and we have been gathering the last minute things and stuffing them into luggage! My niece's Girl Scout troop made bracelets for all of the older children at Gladney's foster center and are sending boxes of Girl Scout Cookies! I am excited to take pictures of the kids reciveing the gifts! It was a very kind gesture and I am so proud of her troop! I also have to give a little shout out to Mekdes' three very excited cousins! They are parting with their mommy this week so that I may be privy to her child whispering abilities!
I am so excited that Ian is going. I am thrilled to have this time with my children, together. Some have questioned this decision oddly enough but at this point it is the right one for us.
This will be my last post until you see the long awaited picture of us all united at last.
Signing off...

CAN'T WAIT!!! I am so excited to see your smiling face in the morning. I know you are about to bust at the seams with excitement. It is going to be a great time for you to be with your kids. I am excited to watch it. You have 3 ladies waiting to help in any way we can...so even the 33 hour flight with a toddler can be broken up into reasonable shifts :)
I will call you in the morning and let you know when I get to the airport and where I am. Yea!!! Have I mentioned that I am SO excited???
Congratulations! We are also thinking about taking Dinkeneh when we travel for number two (which should be when he's around Ian's age), so I'd love to hear how travel went with a 20 month old. Have a wonderful trip and we'll be watching for updates!
Love this picture of Mekdes! She's so beautiful!
Have a great trip!

Have a WONDERFUL TRIP!
I know you must be so excited to get on the plane, to get to Ethiopia, to get to Mekdes! I think it is great that you are taking Ian. It will be a special time for your TWO children! Safe, safe travels!

Praying that you have a wonderful, wonderful trip! I, too, am curious to see how travel goes with a 20 month old. We are planning on leaving Pickles home when we travel.
Can't wait to see the pictures!!!
HORRAY!!!! So excited for all of you!!! Can't wait to see pictures!
I am so exicted for you all...what an awesome trip! Give our twins some hugs from Mommy:)

I am SOOOO excited for you! Oh how I wish I could be on that plane with you...but know that I'm here, on bended knees, praying for you and your family!
I love you guys...God speed my friend!!!
Have a wonderful and safe trip to bring your daughter home!! I am so, so excited for you guys!! YAY!!
Hi there!
I've been reading your blog for a while (I'm also an adoptive momma) and I just wanted to say good luck. I know that you are going to have an amazing trip, and I'm so happy for you and your family!
I am so excited for you! I do not question the decision for you to go it alone--in fact, I just told my husband about this earlier today. If we ever returned to adopt, it would probably be just me...
It's a great idea! I am so excited to see you with Mekdes! Faven is also very excited!!!!
So excited for you and for Mekdes! Can't wait to see pictures when you return. I am guessing you will see/meet our three kiddos at the Gladney Foster Care Center.
Praying for safe travels and a beautiful family reunion when you return!
