Waiting with a Twist

So we are waiting again in our adoption process. This time it is to receive our travel dates. But the waiting in much different now. We know who it is we're waiting for. We know she is our daughter. And we know we will be going to get her very soon. The wait is easier on this side. Much easier.

Here are a few things we've done to pass the time:

1) Eat at an Ethiopian Restaurant...

Yummy!

2) Send Luci May a package...
We meant to do this right after we received our referral, but got a bit delayed with our summer travels. At this point it will barely beat us to her, but we wanted her to have it. I slept with the blanket for three nights so she might know my smell. My oldest three can't understand why she would want to know my smell since they merely tolerate it. The other gift was a baby photo album of our family. I don't know if 4 month old babies can focus in on pictures, but if she can she will see the faces of the people who can't wait to bring her home.

3) Celebrate America's Birthday...


We hope to hear something soon about travel dates and then we will hit hyperdrive as we make travel plans, gather what we need for a baby, pack for Ethiopia and somewhere in there it will probably be good to actually get back home. I should be sleeping while I can instead of up late blogging, huh?
