soooooo....per Duni's email today, looks like you guys and us will be in Addis for several hours before the other 3 families - so it will be fun to meet up with you guys and maybe greet the other families at the Hilton when they arrive...of course, maybe we'll be sleeping - haha!

I've been out of town until last night; with trepidation I checked your blog to see what came of Friday's court appointment. What great news--court success and an embassy appointment! The babies are adorable, hopefully the next few weeks will fly by and you will find yourself in Addis before you know it! Congrats, we are thrilled for you guys!<BR/>love, <BR/>apryl (and seth)
