Kayla left at 5:00 PM for her trip to Ethiopia to spend time at the orphanages with our baby boys. I was so on edge all day thinking she was leaving; that she was going to be holding our little ones in just a few days. She made it as far as Seattle. Her United flight from Seattle to D.C was canceled. No other seats or flights that United would book her on. There was no way she was going to make her Ethiopian Air connection in D.C. So she is flying right back home tonight. I leave here in a minute to pick her up at midnight. We will have to rebook tickets for later this week or next when there is Ethiopian Air flight available. She actually felt really sick today so maybe it is for the best. I was worried she was going to wind up with strep in Ethiopia or something.
Our second court date for the boys is Thursday March 5th. We will know in four days if they are coming home soon.... or if we will have another delay. I have been sick to my stomach this week with cold icy fear in my stomach about court. I imagine some small issue with paperwork or missing signature or something so minor to us but important to the powers that be in Ethiopia. Something that would keep the boys from clearing court and keep them longer in the orphanage and away from the love of a family. I know I am sinning in my worry. I am struggling with that. Please pray that they pass court on Thursday. And pray too for Mike and I to not to give into the sin of worry and fear. I know God doesn't want that for us. Pray for Kayla and new travel plans too. Thank you so much and thank you to those who post a comment. It means a lot!

Julee,
I'll be thinking of your family on Thursday. I pray the remainder of Kayla's journey is very smooth. My little girls will be transferred to AHOPE on Friday(most likely), so they will be with your little boy. Keep us updated!

Hi Julee! Did you get all the photos I sent of Assefa last week? Never heard back from you so am worried you never got them!
Julee, I am so sorry about all the sickness and Kayla's travel. I will pray for health for your family and for new travel plans for Kayla. As always the boys and court are in my prayers.

Lifting prayers!!! Have you read the book 'Angel Behind the Rocking Chair?" Very good book. I think you would enjoy. You can find it online.
