Court Date! We got one...

It is extraordinary to me that [the US] can find $700 billion to save Wall Street and the entire G8 can't find $25 billion to save 25,000 children who die every day of preventable treatable disease and hunger. That's mad; that is mad."

I got my email! We were shocked so fast and excited all at the same time! We are not suppose to post and share "exact" dates as of yet. The agency is still passing them out to others, and I totally understand that its not fair while others are waiting. I will say that Our court date is in the beginning of November and we are flying to get Aslynn middle of December. The only conflict this hits me is the timeline the agency gave me has us coming home a few days before Christmas. Which is wonderful to have her home for the holidays, but I hate to be away from the kids on their break and during the Christmas season. I was hoping to be in Ethiopia in November. I guess God has his plan, and I will roll with it. If I can talk Shawna into flying with me, than I wont feel so bad leaving the kids if Jon can be here with them.

SO WE HAVE OUR COURT DATE, ASLYNN IS WAITING!

A group of Mom's from the AA agency board all got together and we are sending a DHL box off today to Ethiopia. Everyone sent their special little outfit, blanket, toy, etc for their little one to me, I waited patiently for the packages (I had last Wed deadline, but it turned out last box got here yesterday) and Today the box goes out! I will have a post about that as I am sending things for the orphanage, nannies,etc etc! It will be awesome! More to come about that.

Sorry to lag time in posting and updating. Makenzie and I had a quick 24 hr flight to California for Miley Cyrus 16th b-day at Disneyland. They shut down the park and for those super cool Mom's that got tickets (only 5,000 sold) got in to celebrate. We met so many famous people and had a blast. I am still tired and can hear the screams. I have a funny story! ha ha I will post updates updates.... let me feed and get kids ready for bed....xoxo
