GETTING READY!!

There has been much preparation anticipating the arrival of our children from Ethiopia. We looked for a home with an unfinished bonus room when we moved so we would be able to complete it ourselves making sure to use every square inch, knowing 3 girls would be sharing a room. It is completed and is right at 455 sq ft. We made built ins in the closet and a window seat for extra storage. There is a queen bed on one side and a king on the other, each have their own dresser as well, and the girls still have plenty of room in the middle of the room to play. We added a half bath and a huge walk in closet. I am so thankful Michael is able to do this kind of work. It saved us thousands of dollars. I am blessed to have such a God-fearing man as my husband. Thank you, Lord for Michael. He is a gift from you.
The boys room is a typical bedroom with a double closet. There is a full-twin bunk bed which Parker is excited about. He wants his brother to sleep on top, so he can look out for him. Pretty sweet big brother. Needless to say, we cannot wait to hear of our embassy date so we can meet and bring our children home. Please pray we receive on this month while we have people willing to watch our other children before school is out and people begin to vacation.
With much prayer, we have decided to take Kylie with us. With her heart for missions and orphans, I know God will change her heart forever and grow her much during this trip. I am trusting the Lord will grow and change Michael's and my heart also.
Dawit and Bereket we love you and are coming to bring you home.
