My life has been blessed by Mark and Tiffany and to hear their story in their own words is beautiful and inspiring.

Truly love these two and their family both here in the states and far away in Rwanda.  Until this little one is home, we will trust and pray that all things are working together for good.

Follow their story on their blog:  The Other Side of Fine (theothersideoffine.blogspot.com)

So fun to have my sister Erin in town to help me pack.  Although it  doesn’t look like Will is helping much :-)

Here is my JunkPosse necklace I had Tracy make for me! I love it!   Wear it
everyday!  When baby E is older I am going to give it to her!  I’m  entering Amy’s “give away” to try and score a JunkPosse treasure for my  sweet friend who has walked right beside me through our adoption  journey.  She is the most giving, loving, AMAZING friend a girl could  ever have!
Now I get the privelage of walking beside her as she begins her own  journey to her little gal in Ethiopia!  I would love to be able to give  her a JunkPosse piece to treasure!
BE INSPIRED!!!

We have a Court Date! OH HAPPY DAY!!!

HOORAY!!!  Mary called and we have a court date!!! Finally, some good news!!!!  It is for DECEMBER 11th!

Sweet story about that date!  December 11th is my oldest child, John Michael’s birthday! He will be 9!  Last week, holding

back tears he said, “mom- i don’t want any presents for my birthday, all I want is my baby sister to come home!”  PRECIOUS!!!

He will be soooo excited when he gets home from school and I tell him when our court date is!!!! That indeed was a “kiss from God”!

So, now we wait again, but this time it’s a good wait!!  Praying Praying for each family still waiting to bring their babes home!!!
