March 23rd

March 23rd was a happy day for us!! We celebrated two great things!

The immigration approval for our baby girl was sent on March 23rd. We're still waiting for it to arrive. Did you hear it???? We are approved!!! We have the immigration approval for a baby girl!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're so excited! Now we're waiting on that referral (the picture and info of our little girl). We don't know who she is yet, but God does. We pray for her all the time!

March 23rd is a special day for a second reason. On March 23rd, 2008, we met Jojo for the first time. We traveled to Ethiopia to visit him. We held him, sang to him, loved him, and kissed him for about 5 days. We left him there for about a month before we came back for him. Our lives have never been the same. We're so thankful that this special boy entered our lives.

Here's a picture of Joseph flying high on March 23rd, 2009.

Here's the smiley boy that we fell in love with on March 23rd, 2008.

Here's some more pictures from that visit a year ago. Wow, time sure does fly.
