MAJOR EXCITEMENT!

Not with our adoption, but those of friends.

Sally and Joel may be able to travel the first week of November to get their sweet little Nilani! We're all praying that these last steps through DHR go smoothly and quickly. Two other families are right there with them for the trip to India. Good luck and best wishes to all!

Nick and Susan may travel at the beginning of December to get Sam! They are just waiting to get the consulate appointment and set up their flights.

This is shaping up to be a great holiday season for us all. The first Christmas with our new little people. If only Miss Jessie could be here too, but maybe next year she can join her brothers and all of our friend for the celebration!
