Airline Tickets are Purchased!!!

WHOA, that must really mean it's happening, huh?

We received our travel confirmation this week, have had our travel call with the agency, and have booked our airline tickets! We leave for Ethiopia in 29 days! A mere blink of the eye when compared to the months and months of waiting up to this point!!

There's a flurry of activity here trying to wrap up loose ends on this side and get everything in order, but it all pales in comparison to the idea that in just a short period of time we get to look at our son in person, in 3D, in the flesh, front and center, hands-on . . . YIP-PEE!

Immense gratitude to all the friends -- near, far and in in cyber space -- who've offered tips and hints, support and guidance, comfort and encouragement, and words of congratulations!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
