Tomorrow is the DAY!!

Tomorrow is our court date in Ethiopia. Our representative will be there for us and will hopefully be able to deliver good news. If all goes well, Elias will be officially ours tomorrow. I'll be able to finally post a picture of him for all of you to see. WOW! I've waited so long to do that.

Yesterday, I received the best gift. I opened up my email around lunch time to find a video of Elias. I cannot even begin to tell you how it felt to see him in "real time" for the very first time. I was floored when I realized what it was. What a precious, precious child he is. He's changed quite a bit since his 2 month pictures, and he appears to have gained quite a bit of weight. Oh, and his little smile...it took my breath away. We all gathered around the computer last night and watched it over, and over, and over. He was on his belly and kicked his feet and propped himself up like he was superman instead of a 6 month old. What a cutie!! We are SO in love with him already. Ella is over the moon and can't wait for him to be home.

Pretty soon, we'll be a family of four. Can't wait!
