The week started with a visit with a good Hannah's Hope buddy. Here is a picture of Levi and Abel. We traveled together and enjoyed many memorable moments together. It was fun to see how big the boys have grown.
Then Andrew and I got our FBI fingerprints done. The same lovely lady did ours last time as well. We are slowly getting stuff together for our homestudy update. We still haven't decided an agency for sure. We are hoping to adopt a 4 year old girl. We may not be able to do that because of the age difference between Emelia and Charlie is only 21 months. MOWA- in Ethiopia"requires" (according to gladney) a 1 year age gap between the adopted child and siblings. So if we get a big fat NO, we may go for another baby. Or wait awhile longer.
Then moments later we were at the car dealership purchasing our first car. That's correct. We have been married for 8 years and have never purchased a car. We got a 2006 8-passenger Toyota Sienna with very low miles. I love it! The kids love it!
The week wasn't completely all fun and giggles. Levi tested positive for TB so we get to take a little visit to Seattle Children's hospital. So not looking forward to this. Then Charlie developed Shingles. Didn't know a 2 year old could even get them. So my little man is wearing long sleeves and a glove on his one hand- all day. According to his pediatrician they cannot be transmitted if they are covered. So we ran around today with Charlie wearing one purple glove- then we bought some blue ones. In the past 24 hours I have spoken with the pediatric nurses 5 times.
What a crazy week!

Busy Busy! I pray that the TB resloves quickly and doesnt spread to the other kiddos. That would be tough to have 3 sick kids. Gosh you've had a packed week!
That is CRAZY!!! Praying for some healing & clearance on the TB!
Oh my - so sorry about the TB - doesn't that mean like nine months of medicine now? I hope that the shingles are over soon too!
It was great to see a picture of Abel - he and Levi look so cute together.
You guys are moving right along on the paperwork, aren't you? That's amazing! I am so excited for you and I'm 90% sure that we'll be following along behind in the near future!
