Oh no.Â
The first court date didn’t go through.Â
Our second court date is booked for January 28th.
One whole month more waiting to see if the girls become ours.
I am so disappointed and worried…
This is just not cool.
So our court date was today - and the day is long over in Ethiopia…
But no news YET.
But on the good side, I did get a great email from an online aquaintence who sent me a little note about the girls. It was a wonderful gift to get on such a nerve-wracking day.
We’re just back [...]

These pictures were taken a week or so ago… we have even more snow now! Unheard of for Kelowna… not in recent history, anyway.
Borrowing a line from a favorite movie… White Christmas… we should count our blessing each night instead of sheep.
Yet, I truly believe that happiness comes from a deeper conscious place than our blessing or lack of. I’ve read several books on happiness over the last year - written by economists, psychiatrists and researchers. (My favorite [...]
We were expecting an update from our adoption agency ‘before’ Christmas… photos and some information about the girls. But the agency closes today; and after a week of refreshing my email every hour or so, I decided I would call and see if we were getting an update after all.
Nope. Apparently email is down in [...]

MANY MANY thanks to Allison, who is currently in Ethiopia picking up here little girl Ebba… she was able to visit the toddler home and wrote us this about our girls…
Your twins are THE CUTEST THINGS EVER!
They are in the toddler house, and they are faves with the staff, who say they are smart, obedient, sensitive.
They [...]
The other day I picked up a organizer case at the dollar store for all the girls combs and headbands and elastics. I was showing them to Jrock last night and he said “what about beads?”
 Â
Â
So we went to my friend Shelley’s hair care website, Sharuba, and picked out a whole bunch of snaps [...]
Wondering what to give your favorite adopting parent for the holidays? (No - this is not a hint for my family! I already have one. )
I just got to read this book for the first time: Labours of Love - Canadian Talk About Adoption. Deborah Brennan takes you on a tour across the [...]
My friend L from across the lake had a small heart attack this week. She thought she MIGHT be leaving before Christmas to go pick up her girls in Ethiopia.Â
This was not planned - or rather, I should say - the timeline has been 4 weeks instead of the 2-6 months that we were expecting! As [...]
Ah, the clothes shopping for little girls. It is just AWESOME, I have to tell you!Â
And, it’s pretty addictive. Today, Jrock examined the treasures laid out on the bed (and yes, these are just todays’ - remember I am shopping for two! - and shrugged and commented “you know, they aren’t going to arrive any [...]
My dad was in town visiting last weekend, and we decided to make a family day of it and went to get our Christmas tree. We had a long debate about the good and bads of cultured vers wild trees, fertilized vers non-fertilized. Only in our house. And in the end, we ended up with [...]
What an amazing week it has been in our little Ethiopian adoption world!
Sandi is preggers!
My friend L from across the lake is off to pick up her girls in a few weeks! (We are madly cooking a big batch of Ethiopian food to freeze today!)
And many of our on-line friends who got through court just [...]
