TGIF

Can I just say this:

WE LOVE FRIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's recap...

• We get our referral on a Thursday and accept on a Friday
• We have our court date on a Friday
• We receive our MOWA letter on a Friday
• We receive Makeda's birth certificate on a Friday
• We receive Makeda's passport on a Friday
• We receive our DHL tracking number on a Friday
• We receive update photos on a Friday

Whoa!!! Back the truck up...what did you say, Ashleigh?!

Oh yeah, that's right! We received our DHL tracking number this afternoon - our (ah hem, Makeda's!) documents are on their way to (the High Commission in) Nairobi to be processed for her Facilitation Visa people!!! Once they are back in Addis, on a Monday (don't know which Monday so hold your horses on that one,) the diplomatic pouch will be opened. In it, her Facilitation Visa will be. Then we will get a call and I will go pick our beautiful baby girl up as fast as humanly possible. I'm not kidding. The second we can get a flight, I'll be out of here.

And the icing on the cake??? Said update photos arrived part in parcel with the tracking number. Oh man...what a beautifully amazing wee (!) girl we have. She's holding the items we left for her. The doll I made...the "M" blanket sewn with her only, in mind...the cloth cube with photos of her biggest fans - us - on all four sides.

What A Joy!!!!

I know I'm biased. Very. Biased.

But isn't she amazing.

And we continue to pray ever more fervently for that Visa!!!!
