Court Date Here We Come!!

We thought our court date was going to be on March 31st, but the Ethiopian government made a change to our court date. It is now scheduled for Thursday, April 9th. We are hopeful that we will pass on the first try and bring Teagan Elizabeth home somewhere around the end of April.

We have gotten new pictures of her and boy she is beautiful! Of course, I am her mother, so I am a little biased. In the meantime, I am just now washing her clothes in Dreft and we have her room painted a really pretty lavender. So that gives us a little bit of time to get her curtains up, buy a white chest, and decorate her room.

This process has been such a long one to bring her home--almost 2.5 years and 4 countries later, that I didn't feel like having a baby's room decorated with no baby. It's just too hard to have a room that's ready and no baby to sleep in the room. So, much like my wedding day (which coincidentally I had no doubts of it happening;-), I was out shopping for toiletries in my veil and hair piece at noon on my wedding day and getting married at 5 P.M), I guess we will be preparing for Teagan right up until the last minute. I guess I kind of just don't want to jinx it by preparing everything without having passed court yet. Crazy, I know, but this journey has been LONG--REALLY LONG! Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers on Thursday, April 9th. We would really appreciate it!
