Please Pray!!

We are so excited that the week of our court date has finally arrived! Our case is scheduled to go to court this coming Friday. Ethiopia is about 9 hours ahead of us so when we wake up on Friday morning, it will be over and we should find out fairly soon whether we passed. Please pray with us for this!! I can't even let my heart dwell on the possibility of not passing court, and yet I know it is a real possibility. Ethiopia's court system is very different from ours and there are a number of unexpected things that could happen that would cause us to get rescheduled for a later date. So please pray that we will PASS on Friday and get to hold him in our arms in March!!

I'll leave you with a few recent pictures from V-day and Eric's birthday...

Ice Skating

Isaac got to try out ice-skating for the first time last week, and he had a great time! We thought he did pretty good for a first-timer! Here are a few pictures and a short movie. Enjoy!

Isaac with his friend, Naomi, who was nice enough to let him borrow her sticks!

The boys.
