The BEST Christmas present ever

The day we've been waiting for is finally here-- we are going to Ethiopia to adopt our girls!!! 

God continues to give us far more than we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20-21)!!!  I began praying last Sunday specifically for a December 17 court date, and then we received a call Monday with a court date of Friday, Dec 14... so Brian and I are leaving Tuesday morning Dec 11 with Ella and Ava for Ethiopia to meet and adopt our 2 daughters!!  We are all SO VERY excited!!

Continued prayers for our family are greatly appreciated-- for our boys, who are staying home with my folks, for our new girls and all the transitions they are about to begin, and for our safety as we go.  Please pray specifically for our flights to be smooth and seamless with no delays, as it is a very long trip and it's the first time Ella and Ava have ever flown.  :)

We are sending in a sheet order before we leave, and it will likely be the last order that we send before Christmas.  We are still about $2K short of our goal, so we plan to continue selling after the holidays.  But if you'd like to get sheets in time for Christmas, now's the time to order.  We'll be sending an order tomorrow, so reply to this if you want yours added.

Also, we are wrapping up another fundraiser tomorrow as well.  Chalisa Skaggs with Premier Designs Jewelry has given us 25% of the profits from the jewelry show going on now.  There are some great gift ideas, and you'll also be helping us reach our goal!!  View the on-line catalog at

Again, we are SO GRATEFUL for your prayers and support throughout this year.  We know the real story is about to begin as we meet our new girls for the first time, and we grow our family as God leads us.  We appreciate your continued prayers as our journey continues.

May God bless you this Christmas season, and may you know the peace that can only come from Jesus.

Much love,
