We are APPROVED!

Good news today! We just got an email saying that our court date occurred in Ethiopia today and we are APPROVED. Once our paperwork was sent to Ethiopia, there was a list of 14 things that needed to be done before we get our kids. The court date was #13 on the list. The only other thing left is an invitation to travel.

This is such an answer to prayer because, until now, there has been a possibility that we could be rejected. But, we are approved! Now, we are told that we must wait for an invitation from the U.S. Embassy to travel. They have told us that it could take 1-2 months before we travel, but things have been happening fast and anything could happen...And God can work as fast as he wants. So, please keep praying with us!

And...we got a few new pictures of Trey and Tessa today. Adorable and they look pretty social :). We can't wait! Here's Tessa (on the far left) with some friends. And here's Trey (bottom right). As you can see, there's lots of other cute kids :)
