Lookie what came in the mail today!

The director of our agency just went to Ethiopia and took some some pictures of Biruk and also sent us Paulo's disposeable camera..the pictures didnt come out great..but Im thrilled to have them. It makes me smile, because paulos is wearing our tshirt, waering our necklace and in the picture where he is laying on the bed, hes looking at our talking frame where Dex and both say their names and we tell them we love him!! It makes me so happy to see him with my things!!! What a great day today!!!

Thanks!!! I know people are probably getting sick of me on here..this is all I ever talk about..I cant help it..its consumed my life!!
Right now, its looking like we will travel hopefully in May or JUne. Im praying for May, because its getting closer and closer..but I am able to send them cards and pictures quite often..they JUST received new cards and will receive two cards each in a few weeks, so that helps, knowing that they know we are thinking of them, and the parents who travel before us take pictures of them as well..so it helps pass the time. Time is actually going by faster because Im keeping myself overly busy..so it will be time to travel very soon! YEA

YEA!!! Itll be here so soon hopefully!!! It could be as late as Auguts, but most families have been traveling within 3-4 months after their paperwork got to Ethiopia, ours went over on the 8th of this month! YIPPPPPEEEEEEE so we are really getting prepared, figuring out what we need, what they needetc. We started our vaccinations, I am getting the name on my passport changed and putting everything into place. My mom and sisters are having a shower for us on May 1st and the reallu nice Ethiopian restuarnt here in NJ..so its very exciting! I just cant wait!!!! Thanks for listening to me ramble on day after day..I have never been through this before and so these feelings are completely new to me..so thanks for listening!

Re: Lookie what came in the mail today!

I think that Biruk (1st pic) and Paulos (2nd pic) look alot alike, they arent even related..yet they look so much alike!! I keep hearing from parents who have already traveled that they are both very shy!!
