Wheels Up!

Ok this is new...blogging from my iPhone! I'll keep it brief but we are on the first leg of our journey. These past few days have felt surreal, jammed with prep and full of 'lasts'...last jog together just the two if us, last quiet meal in front of the TV watching an old 'Sopranos', etc. But as my wise friend Stacey said, soon our lives will be full of firsts!

I will try to post some from Ethiopia, but Internet can be fickle at best!

I'll leave you with a pic from the DC airport with all our bags...the duffels are stuffed with medical supplies, clothes and blankets. The orphanage fund ended up with about $5,000 and we are so thrilled to buy the big ticket items when we get there!

Ok blogger on iPhone won't let me upload a pic which is stinking because now how will I share baby pics? Ack...if anyone knows how let me know...

Thanks for all the wonderful well wishes...it has really taken a village to make this family:)

    I have been meaning to come back and comment- sorry!! Loved the plane treats, though I hope your journey home is quiet and filled with good bonding time :) I am thinking of you guys often and can't wait to see family pictures. Take care, safe travels, and let's definitely get together the next time we are in town (which should be fairly soon)!! Hugs to those sweet babies!!

    Cannot wait. Seriously cannot wait until you are there and then all 4 of you are back here. Well, here as in your home!

    I wish I could help with the iphone photo thing. I'm doing good to keep mine charged. I looked a bit online and there is an app rated with 4 stars called BlogPress that can be used to upload photos to blogger. I haven't tried it myself, but might be worth the $2.99 to share all those photos! (-; Good luck.

    So so freaking excited for you!!

    I can help you with a good app for ukelele chords but sadly no idea on the photo thing! My one piece of advice for this trip is just aim to survive and everything else like photos can wait. Don't think about anything else other than making it home! Congratulations mama! Xx claudia

    I'm so excited for you. We are also doing all sorts of "lasts" now too. And waiting for all the "firsts." It's a weird feeling.

    I can't wait to read more about your journey from two to four! Best wishes and safe travels.

    Best wishes!!!

    I was able to post a photo through my iphone by emailing it to my blogger account. (Each blogger account has an email) and I just hit the arrow under the photo and emailed it the account. If that makes any kinda sense...
