The First One

I've been asking my sweet hubby to create a blog for a while now. Yes, I know I probably could have done it myself, but I always depend on him to do the things I don't want to do. It makes him feel needed, and guys like that. Right? Anyway, I finally got it done with the help of a sweet neighbor...in the nick of time I might add. We leave in 2 days for Ethiopia to meet our little four year old princess. We are in the process of adopting a little girl from there, and I CANNOT wait to meet her. We won't get to bring her home yet because we have to pass court and wait for an embassy appt. before we can go back to get her. Soon though! We hope to travel this spring sometime to pick her up. Our kids, Daniel (9) and Margo (8) are going with us along with Mark's mom, Joyce. We are leaving our sweet little five-year old boy, David, here. I'm hating the though of leaving him, but I know he is going to have a ton of fun at 4 different friends' houses. I hope to use this blog to keep everyone updated and record our journey.
