We are blessed!

I haven't been too good about blogging lately so here is a quick update.  Thanksgiving was great!  We went to my brother and sister in laws house and they had a guest from Ethiopia.  He and his wife were so nice and they made Ethiopian food and brought it for the boys-injera and doro wat!  They were so excited it was so fun to watch them enjoy this meal!  This was a true treat for them!  They loved speaking Amharic to him and I think it was comforting being around someone from their country!  Truly a blessing for the boys!

It was so nice having some time off from work and school-we took the boys on their first camping trip!  We take our boat to an island in the intercoastal and camp there.  Besides the mosquito bites-the boys had so much fun! We went with another family-the kids played well together-they had a blast fishing, swimming, playing, etc...  Joseph finally got his cast off so he enjoyed being able to do all these things too!  I learned a lot about camping with kids (all new to us!!)-bring LOTS of clothes-you never seem to have enough!  It was pretty cold too (for Florida)!  We can't wait to do it again!!

We have some good news on Danny and Yordanos-we are waiting for a court date for Danny-should have it in a week or two and Yordanos' paperwork is just about done an then they will file for a court date for her-probably next week!  In 2 days-it will be 2 years we have been waiting-I can't believe it has been that long.  We just want to have them home with us and hopefully it won't be much longer now! 

We truly are blessed....here are a few pics!
