Could this be the week?

As we head into another week of feverishly checking our email 'in case' we get the ONE from the Embassy, I have hope.  I really do.  All of me wants to say it's never going to happen, but I know that's a lie.  Two families who were submitted with us were cleared to travel and begin their trip this week.  Congrats to the Rudstroms & Goebelbeckers who will be bringing home sweet Tizita and Henok.  Blessings for a safe trip and sweet reunion!  

So, it at least gives us hope that some cases are moving.  We also received an email on Friday that little Elliana is sick and on antibiotics.  Certainly news no mother wants to hear when her baby is so far away.  Please keep Ellie in your prayers this week that she is feeling better soon (AND, that she receives word that her Mommy and Daddy are coming soon)!

Also please keep our traveling families in your prayers.  Although it seems like their journey is coming to an end... it's only just beginning.  Hoping they can give us some tips since they are going before us!

I better get to bed soon... I'll be up most of the night stalking my email!!  :)
