Ethiopia...here we come!

We have an official court date on April 8th and a tentative departure date of April 26th!!!! That's right, we will be getting our precious boys much sooner than we had hoped for. Although things can always change or get postponed we are SO EXCITED!!!!!
We got a 27 page travel disclosure that gave us lots and lots more to think about and plan. At least it will keep me occupied, I have nothing else to do, right? Reality is really setting in and as I read about suggestions they gave on what to bring and how it all works I could not help but feel overwhelmed with joy. I just can't wait to get on with our new life together. Although I am realistic that there are some rough times ahead I can't help but feel so excited to finally bring my boys home!
Thanks to a fabulous trip to IKEA on Sat. I am getting organized and feeling pretty good about things. Boyd says I'm making up for three children worth of not being able to nest! I guess I just want everything to be ready so I can focus all my time and attention on our family. I don't want to be stressed that I don't have room for all their stuff. I just can't wait!!!

Do we need to move up the shower date, because we totally can if that would help you know what you'll still need to get.
