We are back! Our first trip to Ethiopia is over and now we wait for the call to find out when we can go back. I plan to write about our trip, but it has taken me several days to process everything that happened. I still don't know if I can put into words everything that we experienced. So many emotions...I do know one thing; Vince and I will never be the same. I think God has led us to this place in our marriage and family for a reason, and it goes beyond this adoption.

Yonas and Yosef were just wonderful. They are sweet, energetic boys who we instantly fell in love with. We had 2 wonderful days with them before we had to say good-bye. Meeting them was such a happy moment for us all. The only thing that would have made it better is if Abby and Gracie would have been there. 

I had to post a few pictures

Look at that smile!

Upon arriving home Friday night, this is what we came home to:

We were so overcome with joy.  THANK YOU!!  Our friends and family have been so good to us (much better than we deserve).  Vince and I both want to let everyone know how grateful we are for each of you.  God continues to amaze us. 

I plan to post more about our days in Ethiopia very soon.  If you think of us, please pray for us and our embassy appointment (which is what we are waiting on).  We also have something on our hearts that we need God's direction for.  We sure appreciate the prayers.
