Pizza Hut Today!

Today is our Pizza Hut day, if anyone is in the Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Waverly, or Grundy Center areas we would love to have you get pizza today!!!!!!!!!!!! You have to have our flyer for us to get the 20%. Please eat pizza today and help us bring Eli home!! Our family is planning to eat at the College Square Pizza Hut around 5:30 if you want to join us.

Three weeks post referral. We can't believe how time has flown. Once we got our referral it got us moving in the direction of planning for bringing home Eli. Since our dossier had said any child age 0-5 years boy or girl, we hadn't done any planning. It is amazing to me how things are coming together. So many of my wonderful friends have brought over clothing that their children have outgrown, Eli has some very cute things to wear. It is nice to see his closet growing since our budget doesn't allow for shopping. :) Thanks!!

So if we are three weeks post referral we think in the next couple of weeks we should get our court date. It is crazy to think that in 4 weeks or so we could meet our precious boy!!! We just read last night that we should be able to spend some quality time with Eli on our first trip to Ethiopia. Sweet to bond, but hard to say good-bye!! So far I feel like time is flying by and that the wait to meet him hasn't been as bad as the wait for referral. Granted it has only been a few weeks. It is nice to have his face to look at and know we are working toward bringing him home. A picture that I have fallen in love with. He has the sweetest, biggest brown eyes I have ever seen. Can't wait to post his picture for all of you to see.


Thanks to everyone for your support. This has been a group effort and we are so thankful. Please continue to pray that God provides. He has been so faithful. Also pray for Eli, that God would begin to prepare him for his new family. For good health, to be safe, and to feel love from his current caregivers.
