We're off........

Bags are packed and we’re ready to go.  It’s been a crazy couple of days but it all gets done in the end.  You’d think it would get easier the third time around but this is a new country for us and certainly a new baby.  We are travelling with 6 others couples and most of meet up in Amsterdam and then fly into Addis Ababa (the capital of Ethiopia) together.  We leave today at 1:20 from Orlando and arrive in Addis at 10:00pm Thursday night.  So let’s see, with the 8 hour time difference, that’s about 25 hours of travel time.  I’m glad we showered.  It actually isn’t a bad flight plan.  Our longest layover is just 3 hours in Amsterdam. 

 

We dropped the girls off at Brad and Becky’s last night, had dinner together and tucked them into bed.  It went well and they are very excited for their “10 day sleepover” as they’re calling it.  But boy, will I miss them.  Ten days is a long time.

 

Well hopefully the next post will be news of us being with Mason Israel.  Thanks for all your support and interest in our journey to bring him home.  Stay tuned and much love………
