Two babies on two different continents

After more than 30 hours of travel, we made it home to Denver yesterday afternoon. Dave and I enjoyed our Ethiopian adventure together, but it also feels so nice to be home! We were greeted at the airport by my parents and Ben in his stroller holding a sign welcoming mommy and daddy home. What a wonderful feeling to hold that chubby boy and kiss his fluffy cheeks!!

Someday soon our two boys won't be separated by half the globe. That will be a happy day!

Thank you for the many prayers sent heavenward on our behalf. We are humbled by the support we've received by family and friends and even people we've never met. We're also grateful that Ben was so well-loved while we were gone. He had the A-team with Auntie Mary, Grandma, and Papa and Nanny. 

We will continue to keep you posted. Sometime in the next few weeks, we will receive an e-mail from the U.S. Embassy notifying us that it's time to return to Addis. Until then, please keep praying for L. For his care and protection and health. For preparation in his little heart to move far from his home country and become a member of our family.
