Is This Really Happening?

"Is this really happening?"
This is the question I keep asking myself.  (And not far behind that, "Are we crazy?!" ha ha)

Well, that question popped in my head again today as I read an email from our adoption specialist with Lifeline.  She informed us that our dossier is on it's way to Ethiopia!!
I read and re-read the short email...then read and re-read the Fed-Ex tracking information.  Hopefully by next Friday it should be on the ground in Ethiopia...the country that our CHILD currently abides in. (I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around this if you couldn't tell.)  wow.

And speaking of children, we are just 21 days until my due date for Parham Baby (yes, we don't know if it's a girl or boy...exciting times!).  I am eagerly anticipating his/her arrival.  And while the baby incubates, Asher gets cuter (and more frustrating...welcome to 2 years old....) and Jake works hard at the farm (it's strawberry season) and I grow more and more uncomfortable (prayers would be much appreciated).

So many surreal happenings in our life right now.  Pray for us to have strength and take things one step at a time in the Lord's mighty strength.  (I need to be reminded of his power and the power in me!)

More updates soon.
Thanks for all your support and prayers!!
