Update

We haven't posted in a while mostly because we have been extremely busy preparting to leave on the 15th. This week we found out that know the US embassy in Ethiopia is going to investigate our case along with some others. They are investigating that our agency has been ethical throughout our file. I am in disbelief that we are yet stuck. We have no idea how long this will take and no one will tell us any information. We are in limbo and just expected to sit here and wait. It just makes me so sad that there is a little boy thousands of miles away that we would like to bring home and we don't even have an idea to when this is going to happen. When we recieved our referral he was just over 2 years old and by the time that he comes home he will close to 3. We are so close to being and the end of this paperwork journey but yet things just keep coming up. There is still a glimmer of hope that the embassy will still allow us to come however it is a little glimmer. My heart is heavy that there is a strong chance we will not go next week. We have to move forward still laying our hearts on the line that soon the day will come.
Today, a little joy however was brought over. I got to spend the whole day with my little buddy (nephew Noah). I haven't seen or held him since he was tied up with tubes. That little boy is so special. I just held him and played with him all afternoon. He is just wanted I needed to feel a little at peace today.
Tonight Alek had his school Christmas program. It was the cutest thing. Alek is growing up so much. We can't believe that he is 5 and we are going to school programs.
Tomorrow we get to go to the airport to welcome some friends home from this long journey of adoption. They are bringing their little boy home. We are so happy and excited for them and eager to meet Easton.
hopefully I will be able to post some more updates soon. Thank you for your prayers.
