We are Officially in Ethiopia!
Well, I received word this morning that our file arrived in Ethiopia on December 11!! I am so glad to hear it has arrived, and now we can relax knowing it is just a matter of time before our girls are referred.
Last night, I was telling Ray that I just have this feeling that our girls are 2 and 5. I've been feeling this for a couple weeks now. Odd, cause they could be any ages. And to tell you the truth, I am not sure if 2 is the age I would 'choose'. I think if you lined up a bunch of babies in an orphanage I might just choose a littler one cause they are so darned cute and you have longer to raise them. So if I am feeling drawn to a 2 year old there might just be a reason. Five is a perfect age for fitting right between Austin (8) and Cooper (5). Those two are my Dennis and Menace. Two peas in a pod. Just need to add one more pea to the pod!
Just want to write that down in case it happens. *smile*
Here is our email from our agency:

Excited for you ;)!!!!
It's just a matter of time now, isn't it.... this is real!!!
You know, when we were waiting for Robel's referral, I dreamed about him, and he was 3.5 years old.... turned out that 1 month later we got our referral, he was 3.5 years and it was the child's face that I had dreamed!!!
Excited to see what God has in store!

YIPPEE!! May your referral for your girls be quick! :-)
Congratulations! I am so excited for you. And with the good news regarding C-14 hopefully you will be getting the call and travelling soon....

Isn't it a great feeling?! Each step is taking you closer to your girls. Pretty soon they will be in the circle of your family and safely in your arms.
Holding onto faith right along with you,

That's great that your file is in Ethiopia- how exciting!
And thank you for the compliment! I really love writing and used to do it a lot, but have been so busy lately that I just haven't had the time. Hopefully over the Christmas break I will get caught up, and i will definitely let you know!

So happy for you and praying that you will hear something soon in 2008. With your willingness to be open to a wider age range, you may get a referral by Spring! Congratulations on getting to this major milestone!
