And We're Off!

Well, here we are. It's overwhelming to think that we'll be holding Myles in our arms in just two days. We are so thankful for all of your prayers and support. Please continue to pray for travel mercies and a great bonding time as a family.

A BIG THANK-YOU to all of you who are helping around the house while we are away — all the house sitters, house cleaners, dog sitters, meal preparers, curtain sewers :), and everyone else who will be helping out around the abode while we travel. It is a huge weight off of our minds! We appreciate you all!

The next time we see you, this Hollomon two will be three!

Want to Meet Myles?

We get back to Nashville on Saturday, September 19th, via Delta Airlines Flight 6489 from JFK to Nashville at 5:10 p.m. We would love to see you at the airport!

Less Than Two Weeks

I must admit, when I first heard it was going to be five weeks until we could travel, I was totally disappointed. But boy, have we needed this time! We've had lots of little hiccups along the way. Now here we are, two weeks minus a day until we leave for Ethiopia and two weeks plus a day until we have Myles in our arms.

This fact definitely became more real to me this week. Our sweet friend Kat, new mom to TWINS! from Ethiopia, sent us this new pic of Myles this week. He's so grown up! And he has hair! I guess this means I need to go buy some shampoo. :)

We are busy finishing all of our last-minute house projects (nothing major, just shampooing carpets, touching up paint, and cleaning out closets and cabinets to make room for baby stuff). And I've been working on washing baby clothes, sterilizing bottles, paperwork, and packing. I LOVED finally being able to take tags off the little baby clothes we've gotten and washing them. I'm sure that will get old soon enough. :)

More soon!

It's Official! We're Parents!!!

Wishing, Hoping, Thinking, and Praying

...that today is our day.

Could This Be Our Week?

This is The Week we've been waiting for (well, one of them anyway!). We have our court date this Friday. The process really begins the day before because the area of the government that oversees adoptions will issue an opinion on our case before the judge makes a final decision on Friday. Should we pass on Friday, Myles will be legally our child! We would also find out our travel dates if this happens.

Would you please join with us in praying that everything will go smoothly for us and we will officially become parents this Friday? There are so many little pieces of the puzzle that must fall into place, from electricity being turned on to having all of the paperwork in order to the ability of the judge to appear in court that day. We are so ready to bring Myles home!

In the meantime, enjoy this picture of our sweet baby's foot!
