Our Family

Our family began the day we were married June 21, 1997! Since then it has grown a little here, and a little there. We now have five beautiful children. Mason who is 11, Cassidy who is 8, Preston who is 6, Birtukan who is 6, and Tseganesh who is 3. Three of our children grew in my belly, and two grew many miles away in my heart. God chose for us two precious girls in Ethiopia, who were to be our children. They arrived in our family on the joyous day of Aug. 22, 2010. This blog will be a way for us to share our experiences as a new family of 7! I hope you enjoy reading it, as much as we are enjoying living it!

Update #1 of I am sure many.......

So as of today we are waiting for our Notarized Home Study to be delivered in our mailbox this week. Once that is done we can send our I-600A form to USCIS. They will look over everything and then send us our fingerprinting appointment. Once that is complete they will mail our approval to us! This can take up to 6 weeks, so we want to get it in as soon as possible. This step is a big one, and once it is done we will feel some relief. While this is going on I will be making some photo pages of our family for our Dossier. Ethiopia likes to see pictures of the family, home, and activities we participate in. This will be a good way to keep my mind busy, and not thinking about the waiting. On the home front Cassidy lost her first front tooth today! She has been talking a little differently, and sure looks cute! It was Preston's turn to cook dinner with me tonight, so guess what we had.......you got it Mac and Cheese! He said many times what a big boy he was when he was stirring it! Mason is looking forward to maybe playing some basketball. We are trying to get him signed up for a team! That is all for now! Thank you again for following our journey!
