I am not as good at this blogging thing as I was last time around:)

GIRL 38

BOY 13

Last month we were

Girl 45

Boy 17

That's a lot of referrals for one month. Actually the day after we got our numbers the boy list moved two spots AND this week the family that was #5 or 6 on the girl list got their call!!!!! That means there have been (potentially) 7 or more referrals since we got our numbers!!!!!!

I have to add a picture otherwise it's not really a blog post:)

Yes, that is a picture of my kiddos putting up the tree!!! I LOVE Christmas and put the tree up every year in October. We are in full swing around our house, music and all!!

Waiting

We are waiting to get our updated numbers!!!

I am so excited....I know there has been many referrals this month:)

WE GOT OUR NUMBERS!!!!!

Here they are.......

Here is the front of the shirts...it says "TEAM ETHIOPIA"

We got the "number call" yesterday evening. Mike was out of town so I thought it would be fun to have the kiddos "SHOW" him our numbers. I decided not to tell him over the phone. So today we drove to where he was and the kids were wearing these shirts.....it was fun!!!!

Looks like we might be bringing a sweet little Ethiopian Prince home this time:)
