I keep coming back...

I really wasn't kidding yesterday when I said I have a ton to do, but I keep finding my way back to you all! Things are going well and we are getting things done. I think that maybe, just a little bit, it is becoming more real.
Our case manager just got back from Ethiopia and she called yesterday to give me an update on the girls. She was able to spend close to a month with them. It was great to hear all she had to say about our princesses. They are precious, we hear that a lot! :)
I have the boys' gifts ready. I have a gift for every other day. They are all electronic stuff and there was no way I was spending any more than 4 days worth. That stuff is expensive! I also wrote a note to them on the outside of each bag. They really aren't too worried about us leaving. I do think as time is getting closer, John, is not as sure about it. That boy just hates saying goodbye and I know that is what he is thinking about.
A dear friend dropped these cookie treats off for the boys last night! The one in the middle says "Congrats Big Brothers" She and I joke that we were separated at birth. She has three boys close in age. They homeschool. They started their adoption process with China and are now in the Ethiopia program waiting for a baby girl!

How very sweet of your friends! We did little cards each day for the kids and then a present from their new little sister for the day we come home! Your kiddos will appreciate it!! :)
