And were off......

Well, the time is now! YEH!! We are so excited to be on our way to the airport. We sent Kayleb and J'Dyn off about an hour ago and all went well. J'Dyn is doing GREAT! Thanks for the prayers for her. We have been talking to her and I think she gets it now. Kayleb just wanted to go to thefarm to play with grandpa. Too cute! We sure do love them.... Thanks Ron and Jude for helping out with EVERYTHING. We are blessed to have parents like you. :)

Our prayer as we leave is one for safety and for strength as we have this whirlwind trip. We need prayer to cover our new little ones as they do not even realize the adventure they are about to embark on. May we see Ethiopia from the eyes of the Lord and may our hearts be open to what He wants us to do there. May our precious son Joshua confirm his calling to be a missionary there someday if it is the Lords will. And may we praise HIM through it all. We hope that someone reading this will have their heart opened to adoption and walk out in faith to see what the Lord has in store for them.

Well that is my soapbox-- always have to have a plug in there for adoption. :) I am addicted! Thanks for your prayers. We will try to update as often as we can. They say the electric goes out often so you never know. Blessings to each of you and see some of you Friday. YEH!!!!

  1. I love the latest pic. It is so cute. Alexa and I were just talking and she wanted to know if you had the children yet. It hit me... you are still on the plane!!! That seems like forever ago when I left you at the airport. We are praying, praying, for you guys. We love you!
