3 weeks until court

Submitted by admin on Tue, 04/21/2009 - 12:49am

That seems either very soon, or very far away, depending on how I look at it. If I think of all the things I want to get done before we leave for Ethiopia and bring home a baby, it seems really soon. But, when I actually think about our baby boy, I wish we were on a plane already!

Prayer requests for this week are:

The Romance of Thrift

Submitted by admin on Mon, 04/13/2009 - 2:30pm

It's been a good week for baby supplies. Last week I woke up one morning and looked out our window to see a wooden, white, high chair next to our dumpster. It's very cute but needs a bit of work on the tray.

I also decided to feel like a hippie and order some hemp/cotton fleece to make diapers out of. I think I'm most excited about this - it satisfies all kinds of things - my love of making reusable things, creativity, practicality, and thrift.

Baby Shower Friday April 24th

All of our faithful (women) readers who would like to attend a baby shower for our son, Joseph Tate, is welcome to come to Heather Ummel's for an open house on Friday, April 24th from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. I'm quite looking forward to a celebration of our baby and if you don't have a gift, come anyway! It will be lots of fun!

32 days until court!

Not that I'm counting or anything :-)

Vaccinnations!

I've never been so happy to get shots in my life! We had our travel appointment this morning and that means we are one BIG step closer to actually traveling.

We each got a shot for yellow fever, polio, hepatitis A & B, and tentanus. We also got malaria pills (not the ones that give you crazy dreams) and typhoid pills and emergency pills in case we get a BAD case of 'runny tummy.'

Happy Birthday Joseph!

It's Joseph Tate Bayly VI's birthday today, so wish him a happy one. He caught up to me and now we're both feeling kind of old at 27 - that's nearly 30! Oh well, bring on the children - they'll keep us young.
