update!

a quick update, we leave in just a few days, our court date is Jan 18, praying to pass for 2 kiddos, we have received many updates and photos of our sweet ones waiting in Ethiopia, both are all smiles we hear, amazing! we can't wait to meet them so very soon, Mahlet is such a snuggle bug, loves getting kissed and dishing them out, prays for both of them everyday and reminds me of how i am going to have to change his diaper and carry him, and how she will be twins now with her new sister because they are the same.....and her hair, yes we added extensions to her own hair and it is rather messy, it's starting to all twist together(i untwist it daily), so we will see how long it will last.

can you say sassy?

yes as you can see mahlet has long curly hair now, 5 and a half hours later.... oh geez, she loves it and theoretically we don't have to do anything for 3 months, hmmmm, she looks 15 is that a problem? YES! sending christmas wishes to all our bloggy friends, PEACE JOY and LOVE
