Yesterday was Wednesday,
and with our adoption agency,
Wednesday is Embassy day.
The day the Ethiopian staff takes paperwork to the US Embassy
to be submitted for review.
Last week,
we did not get submitted because of an ''error in translation''.
Though it took all of 5 minutes to fix the error,
we had to wait another week to try again.
This time...
I was sure we wouldn't get submitted.
I think I was putting on protective armor
so I wouldn't be super upset when we received bad news...
but,
I really wanted good news!
And guess what -
we got GOOD NEWS!!!
Our paper work is now submitted!!
So now we are in the waiting process again -
Embassy will let us know by next Wednesday if
we have been ''cleared'' and we can schedule or Embassy appointment
and our 2nd trip
to bring our boys home!
So last night we celebrated
our boys
and can't wait to bring them home!
(I get chills whenever I say or type ''bring them home''!)
We also received these photos of our boys yesterday -
Sooo glad to see they still have the shirts we gave them
our last day with them.

Congratulations!! This is wonderful news. I also love your new blog banner. Can't wait to see your sons included in your blog banner.
Celebrations all around!!
Yahoo to this next step of the process completed!! LOVE, LOVE the new family pic up there!! And it won't be long 'till your boys' faces are not just from a picture! ;) Those shirts for them are awesome, too! What a creative momma!!
I love the boys wearing your picture near their hearts, waiting for you to return.
If love is in the details, you are a water fall of details.
I can't believe another hurdle is crosse and soon you'll be heading back to bring them home forever.
I'm so proud to know you.
Love V
