James is in Ethiopia!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right now James is in Ethiopia picking up our son! Earlier this month we made the, very difficult, decision that it would be best for only one of us to travel on this trip. It is hard for me to not be there with him. I guess now I know how my mom felt on our last trip. I run in to check facebook about every 5 minutes!

First thing this morning I pulled up msnbc.com to make sure there weren't any major headlines about a downed jetliner. Shew! There wasn't! Then it was off to facebook for some kind of update.

He posted that he got into Addis last night around midnight, our time (Ethiopia is 8 hrs ahead of us). He has already visited with Phin for the first time and this was his facebook post:

"Today was amazing with Phin. He started tough, but while he was drinking his bottle on my lap he began to play.I'll post a longer note about the day. In short, if I felt I was in any shape to bring him home I would have. 3-4 hrs of sleep the past 48 hrs don't equal a great first night together...so i kissed him. HE kissed me and I told him daddy would be back to bring him home tomorrow!"

Stay tuned for more updates!!!!!
