Christmas is my favorite time of year! We have been enjoying all the sights and sounds of Christmas... well, probably more so me, than Jon, as I blast the Christmas music that Jon is already sick of hearing! And of course, everyday I rush to the mailbox to see who sent Christmas cards! I especially love the ones with pictures! I love watching Christmas movies and lighting all my smelly pine tree candles. This year is a little different though with our hearts already in Ethiopia. It's truly the strangest feeling this year.... a longing I can't explain. We've only been on the waiting list for 10 days... 10 out of A LOT more days, but still, it feels different to be approaching the holiday with our eyes set on our babe somewhere in Ethiopia. I keep thinking...wow, Lord willing, our son will be here for Christmas next year! So exciting! In light of that, you've gotta watch this video by third day. It's just a few minutes long, but I cried through the whole thing.

Well it's not the Olympics, but your families have much to be proud of, but don't tell them I said so. :)
Your positive attitudes are infectious.
I hope things go as well as possible.
Merry Christmas!

Okay Rachael, this video totally made me sob. Which at this moment is NOT great because I have a cold and no kleenex nearby. It's messy, not gonna lie. And now I must go to clean up.
Oren! I miss you so much - you have to come back out here and do lunch with me somtime, and bring that baby of yours too, okay??? I cannot WAIT to read your post when you get back to the states with your little bundle. I love following your blog, so thanks for putting so much work into it so us weirdos out in PA can get a glimpse into your lives. :)
hey, did you happen to get any info on the AAI blog list for me. you had mentioned something about having people invite me into a group? i'd like to see more people who are adopting with AAI. THANKS!
Congratulations that things are moving along for you. I commented a while back and you asked then if we had a blog. We now do, so I thought I'd share it. Stop by sometime at robertswitmer.blogspot.com. Peace and blessings! Donovan Roberts Witmer
