Still packing ....and packing some more.....and some more.....

HEY WORLD LOOK - It's me Joanna - learning to walk!!!  :)  I have to do something to occupy my time while my mommy and daddy pack.
This is me checking everything in the kitchen to make sure it was all EMPTY!!!!!
This is Joanna yelling to the other kids outside (window was open) saying "come back- I want to play".  Yes she is in her pj's in the middle of the day.  Hey, her diaper was changed, just not her clothes.  She didn't mind. 
This is Joanna being the cutest baby on the planet - in a cupboard.  Well there you have it - our life the last few days.  Planning on cramming in - I mean packing the rest of our bits tomorrow :)  We leave very very very very very very very early Tuesday morning.  We can't wait to get there, see family, and new friends!!!!  Please pray for safety over our travels, with 8 kiddos, 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 gerbils- and around 15 hours of drive time.  THANKS!!!!



If you haven't signed HERE PLEASE DO IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We want Ethiopian adoptions to be legit, but not gone.  I can't imagine 5 million children never having even a hope of having a home.......

  4. Praying for safe travels for your whole clan! I also wanted to ask if you really think its fair that all of your kids are so cute? I mean, look at Johanna! Are you seriously alllowed to have that man kids who are all way way cuter than average? It seems there should be some kinda limit on the amount of cuteness in one home!!! ;-D Just kidding.

    Keep up the good work! I dont imagine its easy doing all that packing! I had a hard time packing up my own bedroom last summer to move into an apartment with my husband after the wedding. I cant imagine packing a house you have lived in for eleven years for ten people!!
