They are waiting on us...

So we just received these first pictures of the boys TOGETHER!! We are just delighted. We just can't imagine two more precious lives. We are leaving TP tomorrow so many last minute details to finish up, but I had to share these as we might be without Internet for a few days. Praising the Lord for this huge blessing tonight. The boys together at last!!
I love how Ezekiel is looking at his little brother. My heart is overflowing with joy.Such a sweet face!! We believe Ezekiel is our musical prodigy...actually just this week a friend gave us a verse for him and it had to do with Him making music for our King :)




Our first time to see Nehemiah in clothes...too cute!


Well, we have been super blessed this week by a surprise shower/blessing time from our wonderful co-workers, and many last moments with our local friends. Our hearts feel torn to leave, but we trust the Father that soon we will return to this part of the world. Now, we are looking ahead...in just 17 days we will meet our sons. Truly He is good.

joy and hope

I'll be praying for you and Chris as you finish all the preparations leading up to traveling to Ethiopia! Please tell your sweet and precious family "hello" for me... I am overjoyed that we all share a passion and love for Ethiopia! I cannot wait for our boys to meet some day and become friends as well!! So grateful to travel this journey with you, friend!! Do you mind if I post a link on our blog about your travels to pick up your boys?

Been thinking you two these last few days. Praying that your boys are in your arms and that you feel the Lord's arms around you at the same time. Can't wait to see you!
