Adoption Update

All our documents are ready to be submitted to the embassy (in less than a month!!!) There was some minor drama because the agency staff all went on holiday and hasn't checked their e-mail, but the director in Ethiopia was good enough to e-mail us directly. Everything seems to be in order now! Thus begins the wait on the US embassy--some cases are processed very quickly and others take months. We're praying for no problems in the paperwork and good dates to go pick them up.

Quick Adoption Update

Nothing is definite, but we were informed that they think our case will be submitted to the US embassy within the next two weeks! Things are slower at the embassy as there are staff changes and people on vacation. We are excited to see things continue to move! Keep praying that there are not big backups at the embassy because of staffing changes. Also, keep praying for two families that had court LONG ago and still have not received their MOWA letter. It's hard to see others around you passing and your case inexplicably sitting still.

Here's what we've been up to. I'm planning a fun farm post soon.

Blueberries!!!

We decided to go to the Nesbit Blueberry Plantation and pick some blueberries. We were amazed at how plentiful and LARGE they were. They are extremely tasty too! We've got visions of blueberry cream cheese muffins. We picked over 3 gallons in 30 minutes. Ana had a great time and picked a full 1/2 gallon by herself. Amazing!
