I wanted to give a really quick update while I had a few minutes
Thank you ALL so much for your prayers. Elizabeth was better by Wednesday...but Wednesday afternoon Becca started running a fever. Becca fought a 103 fever all day Thursday but woke up totally fine Friday morning. PRAISE GOD!!!
So far John, Andrew, nor I have come down with anything ~again, praising God!!
Wednesday afternoon we received a call from our agency -the US Embassy allowed our agency rep in Ethiopia to return and turn in our adoption paperwork (and that of 7 other families). On Thursday we were given a verbal "you're approved for April 27th".

we're cautiously excited!
Our agency needs it in writing before they can give us the official approval to go.
We're hoping that comes on Monday.

BUT ~there is now another complication.
Anyone heard of the volcano erupting in Iceland? Well it's shutting down airports in Europe. Guess where we need to fly as a stop-over to get down to Ethiopia?
YEP
Europe.
SO...even though we may be given the green light to go get our boys we still may not be able to travel due to the volcano ash.
Please pray the plume of ash either dissipates, goes somewhere else, clears enough for airports to open up.....whatever it needs to do so Europe can open back up. Selfishly, I really want to just go! BUT again, I know God is in control and if He uses a volcano in Iceland to cause us to wait, then I trust in His timing.

Praying H A R D! I don't want the ash to keep you from your boys! More importantly, I don't want the ash to keep the boys from feeling the happy hugs from parents who love them and have been praying and working so hard to bring them home!!
