One Week!

It is hard to believe that one week from today we will be in the air and on our way to meet our boys. We have kept pretty busy the last few weeks putting together a picture book for each of the boys, getting gifts for their caretakers, collecting our final round of notarized documents, gathering as much formula as we can to donate to the orphanages, and getting immunizations and prescriptions for yellow fever, typhoid, and malaria. Now comes the task of packing everything (and trying to stay under the 50 pound weight limit). We are also looking forward to getting out of this triple-digit Texas heat and enjoying the moderate 50's, 60's and 70's of the Ethiopian rainy season. After spending a week there with our boys, I'm not sure we'll want to come back!
