Unbelievable....

Our babies will be home for Christmas (Lord willing)!!!!! Yup, that's right, we'll be off to Ethiopia in less than two weeks!! We found out Thursday that we are cleared to travel for an embassy date of December 15th, which means we have to be in Ethiopia by December 13th. We didn't want to blog about it until we had our flights booked- with Christmas so close, fairs were extremely high and we wanted to make sure we could make it to ET for the Dec 15th embassy date. After two intense days of searching for reasonable fairs, we were able to find something! We'll have to fly out of DC, but it's not too bad of a drive... We'll be leaving here Dec 10th and flying to ET on the 11th (it was cheaper to fly on the 11th than on the 12th, so we'll have an extra day there).

This is so unreal... we have so much to do before we leave, but we are beyond thrilled that everything came together so quickly and Sophie and Tarik will be spending Christmas with their family. Praise God! We are blown away...

Love,
Phil & Amy
