We have been blessed with not just one son, but two! Yes two, doubly blessed!

Dossier on it's way to Ethiopia!!
Julie just e-mailed me to tell us that our dossier was sent off to Ethiopia yesterday! One more step completed in this amazing journey we call adoption. Our son is getting closer everyday; for this we rejoice!
Isn't this great!!! Hey, #6 is a great place to be...we were just there Nov. 9th and now we're #2. That amount of time in the realm of adoption seems like forever, but everyday, every hour, every minute gets us closer and closer to the end.
Our family is on one awesome journey! God is so amazing, and so much bigger than us. Although we have brought our TWO sons home from Ethiopia, our journey is really just beginning. Our journey of paperwork and waiting is over, but our journey of enjoying these two gifts is just beginning! We are a family that is blessed beyond measure, and we are honored to have the opportunity to love and cherish our little men! John and I have been married for 19 years and have been blessed to call four beautiful girls, "daughter." Our oldest Erica, 19, is currently a sophmore in college, Alison, 14, is a freshman in high school, Elaina, 11, is in the 5th grade, and Amelia, 2, stays home and takes care of her mommy;) We are now parents to six amazing children as God has given us two perfect brown eyed little boys to call "son." Eyob, 4, has the sweetest spirit and is so full of life and Abel, 8 months, is a pure joy and loves to be on the go. Follow our journey as we discover our new family!

"But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day."
