The Boys are Packed

Celebrating Christmas Eve on December 23rd is really cool! It's great to have a reason to celebrate early. The boys are packed and we'll finish packing for ourselves tomorrow. While Tonja packed for the boys, Greg spent the day cleaning the garage (a chore that had been waiting since the summer.) Matt, Heidi, and the girls are coming over tonight after Paige has a soccer game to open presents.

Yesterday, after stressing out over some paperwork & travel details, a church friend came by with a very generous $$$ gift. Five different families went together to give money to "somebody that needed it" rather than giving big Christmas gifts to each other. We were humbled to say the least.

We are hoping to be able to update the blog while we're in Addis. We purchased a "converter" at Radio Shack yesterday so that we could use the laptop. We'll see.

Only 4 days until we see the boys!
