My tree climbing monkeys!




Guess what I am thankful for ?


Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. The day before Thanksgiving in 2006, I received the call that Boo was finally (after 2 kick outs) OUT of PGN!! The relief was huge. We were thrilled! This year we know we are SO close to seeing our new daughters sweet face, so another exciting Thanksgiving.
If you go down to my last post, click on Jana and Michelle's name and go see there BEAUTIFUL children!! They just came home from Ethiopia this weekend.
I am so happy for them.
Notice the picture of Bella on my sidebar? Click on it and read her story. She came home from Guatemala , and was recently diagnosed with cancer. Please pray for her. Abby and Bella are so young...they should be playing dress up not having chemo treatments.
Still #4, I will be seeing my baby girl very soon...I feel it :)

Hi! Glad you found us. I've stumbled on a few other AGCI/Ethiopian families blogs but had not seen yours yet. So fun to put faces with names! You will notice that our blog is (as of yet) silent on the adoption issue--we are announcing it in our Christmas cards which we hope to send out this weekend! Once we've officially "come out" we will start posting about it. We are so excited to have begun connecting with other AGCI/Ethiopian families and are really looking forward to the adoption journey! We will be in touch!
