Cleared for travel!!!!

My friend Nikki was praying for Semere & Yordanos a few weeks ago, and told me that God really impressed upon her the date of April 14th. We land in Phoenix on April 14th to begin our new life with Semere & Yordanos. If you don't believe in God, you just haven't met Him yet. He pulled out one amazing miracle for our family and during the last 2 days and in a complete surprise, we are completely cleared to leave in 2 days, Saturday the 7th, to take the kids out of the orphanage, go to the embassy on the 12th for their visas, and fly home!

We really don't know how all the pieces fell together. There were many things that still had to happen, and at best, I was hoping for going the end of April. I'm just in awe of what happened, and that it's real. After all this waiting, it's over. No more waiting. It's a done deal. I'll try a more concrete post later, but I just wanted to tell the world!

Here's our first family picture that Luke drew for me. The boys are so excited!

"Mommy, Daddy and Yordanos are flying a kite way up high, and Jack, Semere, & Luke are down there playing soccer," says Luke when he drew our family picture. Good thing he's churning out family photos, because we get on an airplane THIS Saturday, April 7th to go pick up Semere & Yordanos!

We will land, in Phoenix, on April 14th. Stay tuned . . .
