Great news! We got word yesterday that an Embassy Date of March 19 could work well if it will work for our family.
The trick is: We have been planning to have my parents come and take care of the kids and farm while we're gone to Ethiopia. Unfortunately, they leave for a Mission trip down South on the 14th, and won't be back until the 22nd! "Bummer" to have parents who are in love with Jesus and passionate about service and missions! ;) What a great problem to have!
So, unless Clarence and Judy are interested in another trip to the South to take on the task of 6 kids and a farm :), we'll be looking into having friends come in shifts during that week. If things don't line up well, we may have to postpone the trip for a week so that Mom and Dad are back and available.
Either way, we're thrilled that there is a date in sight and the girls will be home soon!

HELLO!
Of course the day I decide I am NOT looking at your blog because I was getting discouraged with NO word from the Embassy... is the DAY that you blog about getting a date!!! Way to go Jude!
HURRAY ~ you've got a DATE!!! IT KEEPS GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER!!! HURRAY!!!
Whoa eh! Excited???
PLUS ~ you throw in a morsel of food for thought... hmmmm... what would it cost to fly out there... could we get off... hmmm it's tempting... but is it realistic??? hmmm...
OK ~ back to reality...
1. If your "date" is the 19th... is that at the beginning or at the end of your week in Ethiopia?
2. Is your seat sale still on?
Wahoo! Yipee!! Great news to read!!!
