We just got these new pictures of Mahlia that I just have to share. In two weeks I'll be in Addis Ababa, and a few days after that we'll be with the whole family for a week at my Mom's in Princeton. So looking forward to that time :-) For now we are just home from Calgary and head back there again on Sunday, and I take off for Addis from there. Its our whirlwind time of year!

Hope everyone is enjoying the first weeks of summer!

Well its official! We 'passed court' yesterday in Ethiopia and Mahlia is officially our daughter! I am going to Addis Ababa to bring her home from July 6th-11th. My cousin Kim is coming with me which I am very excited about. I'm somewhat dreading leaving Mike and the kids as I have never left them for more then a night or two, but Mike assures me they will have a blast, and I'm sure they will. Ethiopian law says that you cannot post pic's of your child until they pass court and officially become your child, so now I can show off our beautiful baby girl!
