We are off to Ethiopia.

Things have been quite busy around here. Tomorrow morning we leave for our trip to Ethiopia.We are so thankful to our family and friends for praying for us through this journey so far. Today we had a wonderful lunch with friends Kurt, Juli, Tim and Maria. We are so grateful for their committment to walk with us in this process. Tonight my aunt Steph, cousins Cole, Cara and Amanda and Grandma Grace arrived to watch Alek and Natalie for the week that we are gone. We cannot express how much this means to us. We are forever thankful that we will be able to fully intake this amazing experience that is ahead with peace knowing our kids are being well taken care of. We ask that you send many prayers for my grandma, aunt and all the kids. We will continue to update our journey throughout our trip. We should arrive Tuesday evening, meeting Baby J for the first time on Wednesday. Thank you all again for your continued prayers.

I can't believe that tomorrow is the day! I have been counting down with you, but it just doesn't seem real. We are so excited for you all..and praying this week for your whole family...as you are separated from Alek and Natalie and finally get to meet your new little boy.
We can't wait until you bring him HOME soon.

We love you and miss you all!
Ang
