Hello friends and family. I just wanted to update you that I will be heading to Addis this Thursday August 6 to meet up with Nicky, Sugar, and Spice. It has been a long few weeks since Nicky left on the 13th and I am excited to be travelling. We are going to tour around some and see some different areas in the country. We hope to ALL be coming home 2-3 weeks after the 6th. Nicky’s mom, R, is coming home on the 5th. Thank-you R for being with Nicky these last few weeks and helping out so much! It is appreciated.
The girls paperwork is currently at the High commission in Nairobi waiting for a Visa. Visas have been processed rapidly over the last 3 weeks, so lets hope the pace continues!
Over the last few days, Nicky and the family have travelled to Adama and spent a day there, went to a natural history museum and another museum, and toured around Addis. Yesterday, they were going to venture to a market in Addis.
Hopefully, I will be bringing some travel news soon and more pictures. Nicky took the camera to Addis, but forgot the download cord. I will be taking the cord with me. Thank-you to everyone who has sent pictures!

Glad to hear you’re going to be on your way soon to join up with Nicky and meet your girls!!!! Safe travels! Can’t wait to see pics of your family united!
This was the best post to start the week,
So glad you are going to be going. I cant Imagine how hard it must have been these last weeks. I had a quote from NIcky stay in my head, I think it was on the yahoo board as she was running out of town” Hold on it’s going to be a bumpy ride ”
Please let her know we held on hard !
Look forward to hearing more, but most cant wait for the photo when the 4 of you are together.
Ps saw the CBC newsworld, with the interview with Ted, and I got to see your lovely girls.
Have a safe trip. i am so excited for you all. I can’t wait to see you all together for the first time.
JRock, it’s great to hear that you have your travel date to be united with your family. I’ll bet Thursday can’t come soon enough.
Yay!! It’s happening! So glad the whole family will be together. We pray the visas are processed quickly.
You will love Ethiopia – it is full of the nicest people on the planet.

Hurray! At last! Safe and speedy travels to you!
