The Lord has been so good to us. We arrived, with all of our luggage, safely in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia this morning. This afternoon we met for the first time our baby son and daughter. They are even more precious in person than they are in pictures.
The internet is slow and unpredictable here, so I won't be able to post pictures yet...but wait until you see them. They're small and they're sweet. Our dear girl has a cold and a bad diaper rash, and I think she was a little sad tonight too. She had a wonderful nanny who loved her. But overall they're both doing great.
I'm sad to say that they were being fed 7 times a day and 3-4 times during the night. So it'll be interesting as we try to cut that back.
We'll plan to post on Thursday to let you know how the embassy appt goes. Other adopting families don't seem too worried about it, so we're hopeful!
We're full of thanksgiving to our great God!! He has been more than generous to us.

As a postscript... I want to clear up any confusion to the first line of my prior post...... It should read we are "PRAYING" for you, NOT "RAYING" for you.... I did not want you to think I was involved in some sort of wierd scientific experiment to beam myself to meet you in ethiopia......besides, I havent got the patents approved for my ray beaming machine yet yet.......?????? ;)
ReplyDeleteOnce again, Hope all is well, and we will continue to pray!!
We love you guys... all four of you !!!
