Almost Home....

We are getting closer-Dave is scheduled to leave on April 30th to travel to Ethiopia to pick up Danny and Yordanos!!!  We are all so excited-they boys are making plans for their new brother and sister.  Alex even wants to share his clothes with Danny-not so much Yordanos yet!  Every day-it becomes more of a reality that we will soon have four beautiful chldren and be a family of 6!  Wow....They will all return to USA on Saturday, May 8th-the day before Mother's Day!  I can't believe we will actually have all of our children on Mother's Day-how special! We are truly blessed!

Our plan (at least for now) is for us both together to take off a week with the kids-doctors, fun, etc...and then I will take off until the end of the school year.  It really is too late to officially start them in school this year, but we will spend some time socializing and acclamaiting and visit school a few times.  A dear friend who has been right along side of me through this adoption process just returned from Ethiopia with her two children (they are at the same orphanage as our kids) and they have had a wonderful transition-very happy!  Hopefully we will have the same and the boys will be a HUGE help with the kids.  What a godsend-who better to help than the boys-who have already been through this and can speak their langauge.  She also sent mesome pictures of the kids-hey have grown so much!  Danny has gotten taller and Yordanos is a young lady now.  We haven't seen a picture of them since August of last year-way too long.  SO precious!

The next 2 weeks will be busy with planning, preparing and packing-so much to do-so little time.  Hopefully my next post will be an update on how Dave and the kids are doing in Ethiopia-so stay tuned!

Here are a few pics too!

Love,
The Slover Family of 6!!
