24 hour Countdown


Well, our week of fun and relaxation with friends in Cairo, Egypt is quickly coming to an end. It is somewhat bittersweet, as we will miss them but am so excited about the next few days as we finally get to hold Silas in our arms. We spent the first 2/3 of our week here in Cairo visiting tourist spots, resting, hanging out with friends, and just seeing their day to day activities. The last 1/3 of the trip we spent together with our friends on a mini-vacation in Hurghada, Egypt on the Red Sea.
One last day to get in a few more activites, and then we are off to the airport tonight for a 2 am flight to Ethiopia.

**** Also, if you haven't watched the video again in a few days found below, check it out again. We have added some pictures that we recently received from another Ethiopia adoptive family.

Glad you updated your blog. I was wondering how things were going. I know you must be busting at the seams with excitement. Praying for you both as you first meet him.

Can't wait to see pictures of you all with Silas!
