It has been an exciting few weeks. My brother was married July 17th! I did not take a ton of pictures because it was a busy time but here are a couple for now!
Last night about 9 of us Ethiopian moms got together at a local Ethiopian restaurant. It was great! I am still enjoying left-overs. There were new and "old" friends there to encourage and share in each others joys!
Today we went to the zoo. Isaac wanted to get his hair painted red!! So out of character for him!
I was thinking today how much I love to watch Isaac in the rearview mirror. He enjoys listening to music on the ipod. Everything from Michael Gungor to Toby Keith and Hillsong United. He really rocks it out to Newsboys!
Thinking about out adoption journey and how for we have come made me thing of this verse..."And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place" Exodus 13:3
God has brought us so far and through many joys and sorrows. I am so happy to have him as my heavenly father and put my trust in him for myself and my family.
I talked to our adoption worker today and we are in the midst of updating our homestudy. New finger prints, home visits and changing our age range a bit. We are opening it up to 0-24 months old and removing any wording that would indicated we would prefer an infant. Soon our time will come and we will be able to hug and kiss our little baby!
Notoriously late update

SO great to hear that things are moving along with your adoption! Sounds like you have been having a fantastic summer and I cannot wait to hear that you have gotten "the call"!!!
Boy does Isaac ever seem to be growing fast! I can't wait to celebrate with you over a referral. :)
