Things are still going really well here in Ethiopia. On Monday, we attended the farewell ceremony at Joseph’s orphanage which was very cute. All of the children that were going home with their parents were wearing traditional Ethiopian outfits and they all sang a song and then cut a cake together. They gave Joseph this knife that was about a foot long to cut the cake with, which was interesting. He knew exactly what to do, though. It was really cute. Yesterday we had our interviews at the Embassy and things went well there also. They will have our visa ready to pick up tomorrow and then we will be flying out tomorrow evening.
So far, being a mommy has been going well too. I made it through the first meal, bath, nap, bedtime, and very large BM without any problems. Joseph is such a sweet, sweet boy. For the most part he is very laid back, especially around strangers. He has certainly warmed up to grandma and I, though, and we have seen lots of laughs and giggles. We have also been chatting via google video chat with Jack too and Joseph loves seeing him. He points to his face on the screen and waves and says, “Abba” which means daddy. I can’t wait to get him home so daddy can hold him!
Sounds like things are going great. I'm sure you all are ready to get him home to see "Abba" too. I'm sure you have heard but you are missing a huge snow storm here. Where Danna lives has about 2 feet of fresh snow in AR. So this could be interesting for Mr Joseph too when he gets home. Be safe, have safe travels, hug that baby for me. Love you Guys. God bless and be with you all.

We are praying for a safe trip back home for you, and for you to have a sweet, calm, laid back little boy on the *long* flight.
