We are going to be putting on a pancake breakfast on November 20th to raise money for our adoption and for the orphanage that our little guy is at.  It will be from 8-10 a.m. at Harderwyk Church in Holland (the main building).  We are going to try to get everyone to bring either a pair of new socks or undies (ages 0-10 years) for us to bring to the orphanage with us.  Kreg and I will each have a whole suitcase that we can fill with things to bring to them.  We already have some formula and clothes.  We would like to bring them something the kids can have that is new and a necessity.  If you think of anything else, please let us know.  We hope to see you there.  More info to come.......

Great News!

Two great things in one week!  Monday I got to work and found a screening and 10 PICTURES of our little guy!  He is seriously just the cutest thing you have ever seen.  Better than that, he is healthy!  There was nothing in his report that we should be concerned about at all.  We had sent him a picture book with all of our pictures in it (Kendal, us, grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc.) and saw that in one of the pictures, he was playing with it.  So, he has sort of met us already!  Can't wait to hold him.  He looks so happy in his pictures and we are so thankful for that. 

I just got an email today stating that our dossier was sent to court in Ethiopia and that we should be getting a court date in November or December.  Wow, we get to meet him soon.

Orphanage

Found out through a couple of different people that our little guy is being well taken care of at the orphanage in Addis Ababa.  Each person has said that the orphanage is clean, lots of toys, and the caretakers are wonderful.  We are so blessed that he is there.  We haven't heard anything yet about our court date but we will post as soon as we know.  Hopefully we will hear soon.
