Got my tickets!

I just booked my tickets to go see our girl in Ethiopia. We are getting an IR3 visa for her which will make her a US citizen upon crossing the border and eligible for a US passport. In order to do that, both Bill and I have to meet her in person before our court date (May 25).

So, soon I am flying to Addis Ababa to stay for almost a week. Bill and the kids are coming on mid week for a shorter visit. The five of us will fly back to Doha together. I can't wait to hold her in my arms. To tell her she is ours and we love her. I know it is going to be next to impossible for us to leave her.

We have gotten several new photos of her lately. She is getting chubby cheeks and the nannies have started braiding her hair. What a cutie with her tiny braids!
