Two more days until our court date. Time is ticking by slower and slower the closer we get to this court date! I just want to know that for sure we get to fly out Aug 12 and be on our way to pick up Zane.
Since we were told of our court date we have been working to reserve airline tickets and a hotel in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Funny factoid about Ethiopia - this country is currently partying like it's 1999! Seriously. The Gregorian calendar is used by the vast majority of the world but not Ethiopia. They follow the Julian calendar, which consists of twelve months of thirty days each and a thirteenth month of five days, six days in a leap year. More info that you wanted, I know. Their new year begins on our Sept 11 so with us traveling mid August we are traveling with others going to Ethiopia to celebrate their Millennium. Needless to say securing flights and a hotel has been a bit of a challenge. Thankfully we are now all set. Maybe we will get to share in some pre-New Year festivities while in Ethiopia!

We are praying for all to go as planned for the court date. How kind of the Lord to bring little Zane to our family so quickly. We cannot express with words how blessed we feel to welcome this little covenant child. We will continue to pray for Baby Zane and for you as you complete all your preparations! Jackson and Isabelle are ecstatic and Lucy is going to LOVE her little cousin!!! I can't wait to photograph them together and all the cousins together. Makes me want to book an appointment at Picture People right now! As I think about having Zane in our family, I think about how our family will look a little more like what heaven will look like - people from every tribe and nation worshipping the King. Zane is our true little brother in Christ and we can't WAIT to welcome him!!!
