We're moving AGAIN...

FINALLY, I have put together a new blog...

We are not adopting from Ethiopia, as we were matched to a little girl in Haiti (for the second time.)

The new site has some updated photos posted! I took the advice of some blogger friends on the new title...

We hope you enjoy following our journey!

No he DIDN'T...

Yesterday:

Preston: "Mom, did you know Mr. Greg's hair blew away in the wind?"
Me: "Preston, you didn't ask Mr. Greg why he has no hair, did you?"
Preston: "Yup, he said it all blew away..."

Mr. Greg is our brand new next door neighbor....welcome, neighbor!

A few days ago:

Preston: "Mom, SHE's BIG!!!"

That was Preston's LOUD reaction to a larger woman as she walked by us at a restaurant. I couldn't duck fast enough.

Moving on to a new blog

For the few people who are still checking our blog, sorry for the lack of posts as of lately....but I do have good reason!

This week, my parents move out of the house, we officially move our stuff in, we had a garage sale last weekend that got rained out, and the list goes on and on!

Our house is STILL for sale in Arkansas...but my parents have so kindly agreed to move out even before we can officially buy this house from them! I think we ran them out with two little boys named Caden and Preston.

Anyway, I guess I need to change the blog for the third time, since we are adopting from Haiti...not Ethiopia after all.

Any ideas for a catchy blog name? I am not a creative person when it come to stuff like this so help is appreciated!

We got a new photo of our little one, Estherline, and it was precious. I don't want to post photos of her on our blog until we officially have her here. But take our word, she's a beautiful little girl! We also learned of violence that has broken out in Haiti today, and none of the nannies can get to the orphanage, and the only adult in the orphanage is a nurse. She has her hands full. Apparently the older children have been helping out with the toddlers and babies. They are having trouble getting water, food, etc. Please pray for the safety of the children and staff and hope this violence end very soon.

Happy Easter!

Easter bunny came and brought the boys new toothpaste (gotta even out the candy with some toothpaste!), a shark puzzle, match box cars, coloring books and the Sound of Music DVD. Preston wanted it...should we be concerned?

Then we went to church, and due to the people who only go to church on Easter clogging up the place, we had to watch church from the "cry" room where kids scream the whole time! Very enjoyable! Nothing better than church mixed with cheerios flying through the air!

Coming Full Circle...

As we were following our hearts to Ethiopia, along the way, we fell in love with a little baby girl. However, she is not in Ethiopia! She is a waiting 6 month old baby with the agency we were using just a couple months ago. She lives in Haiti, which obviously puts a little kink in my blog title!

I am not going to create a new blog, at least not tonight! But, just wanted to give you all the update. Our paperwork is almost done, and we accepted her referral! We are so very excited and hope to have her home by next summer (2009).

Her name is Esterline, but Preston would like to change her name to Nemo. Do you think she'll mind?
