We're going to Ethiopia!!!

Believe or not we got our travel dates. Eyob is officially ours! Let me tell you how shocked I was! We were told we would not be in this travel group so I was very surprised. As you most likely know our modem died so our digital phones are not working. The house phone is forwarded to my cell phone, so I'm sitting in the car reading books to the little kids while Ella was at piano lessons and the phone rings. I briefly noticed the area code when I open my phone but thought no way, it's probably just a wrong number, but then I heard Julie's voice. (I know her voice like family now). Her first words were "Hi, Toni, I have some great news" I said "no way" According to the Ethiopian government he is our child. We leave Mother's Day Weekend (how appropriate). Julie sent us an update on Eyob to help us prepare to travel. This is what they told us about our little guy "Bring some candy; cool activities to keep him busy and also some interactive games—this will help with the times that you are waiting. He needs structure and routine, he has a lot of energy and he is very competitive " I think he will fit in very well in our family. We'll let everyone know flight details when we have them.
