A sneak peak

Well - we are home, over our jet lag, and finally getting caught up on things after being in Ethiopia.  We've had lots of requests for more pictures from our trip so wanted to post a few.   Unfortunately, we can't post any revealing pictures of our son until he is back home, but we'll give you a sneak peak today since there isn't anything identifying about him in the picture.  :)

Your sneak peak!! (Measuring his foot so we can figure out shoe size!)



  

And we can't forget Joseph - he celebrated his 3rd birthday while we were gone!



We are still praying that we will be able to go back to Ethiopia within the the next 6-8 weeks to pick up our son.  We learned last week that they have secured his new birth certificate with our last name on it and hope to hear soon that they also have his passport.  After that our file will be submitted to the US Embasssy in Ethiopia so a Visa can be assigned.  Thanks for praying with us!
