In less than a week...

By this time next week, this face will be with his forever family.  Yep, we're FINALLY headed to Africa; to bring him home.  Last year when I returned from Ethiopia I told most everyone that I felt like I left part of my heart behind.  I guess you could say I'm going to get it back.

We have plant sitters, dog-sitters, house sitters and house guests all arranged while we're gone...and I think planning the trip to Ethiopia is WAY easier than getting things organized here with work, pets, plants and people.  Seriously! 

We'll try to keep our blog current by sending updates via e-mail...but we'll see how that goes!   Thanks for your prayers, for the donations for the care center (and other places) that are showing up daily, and for the encouragement along the way.  The wait is almost over...and a new chapter is about to begin - again!
