next week?

I just got a call from my adoption coordinator.  Our "missing" paperwork was submitted to the US Embassy today.  I guess that's a pretty big deal since the Embassy usually won't accept submissions on Fridays.  I didn't know that our paperwork was ready to be submitted, so I'm not getting my hopes up yet.  So, sometime next week we could hear that we are cleared to pick up the kids, or that they need even more information.

I'm looking forward to the day when we're eagerly anticipating our travel to Ethiopia.  Right now I feel hesitant to get excited about anything.

Please keep praying that Hawi & Misikir will be home soon.
