we've been given travel dates and booked flights to travel many, many hours to go get our sons!
we leave on sunday, june 12 at noon.
we hope to have them in our arms sometime the afternoon of june 13 (we arrive in rwanda at 1:35 pm june 13. they are 6 hours ahead of us here on the east coast...so that will be around 7:35 am june 13 EST). if not that day, then DEFINITELY june 14!
we will be in rwanda until june 22. then we fly to ethiopia to get lincoln and levi's visa's. we will leave ethiopia on july 1 and arrive back to dulles on saturday, july 2 at 8:40 am (anyone and EVERYone that wants to be there is welcome! sorry it's so early!)
the countdown is ON!

When I saw you today I had not read this post--we are so excited, it's finally happening!
is this the first time you've written their names in print?!?! So exciting - love the countdown sign! :) I'm thrilled you should have them in your arms so soon after arriving...i was hoping it wouldn't be many days after you arrived. why do you have to go to ethiopia for their visas? Hope to chat with you soon - i know your days are CRAZY full right now but you are LOVED like crazy!
the timing seems perfect for school, right? God is good. I can't believe it's finally set. I am so excited for you.
June 12th is my Birthday. I will be in Africa, too. I can't think of a better way to celebrate than to know that an amazing family is traveling to get their boys on my bday. So happy for you!!
