I can't thank you enough for all of your prayers and thoughts for the quick recovery of our family. We were hit hard, but have recovered quickly too. Anna is coming down with it a bit, but I am optimistic that she will pull through as well.
Tonight it started to feel a bit more real as a friend came and dropped off a necklace with Malachi's picture and said I am to wear it until I am with him--I was in tears and very moved by her kindness, but also of the reality that there is a baby boy waiting for us ( he doesn't know that yet though:) ) This has been a long road and one I am so ready to see the end of and be a family together.
Our plane arrives back into Portland on 3/14 at 9:22 on flight 251... we will be a bit raggedy, but happy I am sure:)
I wish I could hug and thank each of the people who have been there, cared, prayed for and loved on us through all of these months. HUGS TO YOU!
I am going to attempt to update as I can from Ethiopia...this is tbe best place to see if we made it:)

You know blogger is blocked in Ethiopia, right? Just wanted to make sure, because it sounds like you are planning to post from ther. But you can still post by email if you know how to do that....
I'll be praying for you during your travels! God bless and give all your babies a hug from Abigail and I!
