I know it's been a while... What can I say? We've been busy!!!! :) All of those things that we have been putting off "until we pass court" are now needing to get done. The good news is that we're doing a TON of it!
But, for now, I'm just going to share three pieces of news from our lives:
1. We received the kids' Ethiopian birth certificates via email last Thursday. This allows the next steps to happen: Ethiopian passports for the kids, medical clearances for U.S. immigration purposes (i.e., their visas), and then a confirmed travel date!
2. On Friday, we received a (very) tentative travel date from our agency. If all goes as planned, we will arrive at the agency's guesthouse in Ethiopia on December 31st. Again, if everything goes as planned, we would meet the kids on New Year's Day. I LOVE that. Of course, Jeremy and I want to travel around Ethiopia before we meet the kids, so we'll probably leave sometime before then. We'll know more after the kids pass their medical clearances in a few weeks.
3. As of yesterday, Jeremy and I officially own a mini-van! Because we have 3 car seats to accommodate (yes, THREE!), our RAV4 wasn't going to work. As a result, we are now proud owners of a Toyota Sienna. I think my favorite feature so far is that I can change the radio stations and volume from our steering wheel... so fun!
That's all for now... Hopefully, we'll have more news later this week!
