Great news - but can't post it

That's right we have great news, but our director has asked us not to post it until everyone at our agency gets great news (hopefully really soon). I can say it looks like we should be in Ethiopia at the beginning of December!

So here is what we have been up to. Yes - they finished our landscaping in the front, but I never posted pictures (we still need to paint and add lights to the pillars). Now Javi is going to the backyard little by little working on it nights and weekends (hiring day laborers when needed) to hopefully have it pretty much done before the boys come home. Also, somebody we didn't even know gave us a nice batting cage so he has to put that up too. For those of you who don't know, Javi played minor league professional baseball and of course Jordan loves it too. That obviously was not a need, but always a dream, so that was such a fun and amazing provision from the Lord - and now we live out in the country so we have space for it- what great timing.

If you didn't see Janae's post - here are the girls feeding my baby coke through my belly button. Joanna put a pacifier in it today. She also loves to "pet" the baby and she tells me what he says.
