It has been a very busy but exciting fall. We were successful in obtaining our license for our new adoption agency, ARISE Adoptions, Inc. Pat and I are working together to help families bring home children from Ethiopia and hope to broaden the process to other countries soon.

Our kiddos are doing well...school is great and we are so excited to be moving soon. It has taken a lot of work but we are just about ready to go! We had a visit from Aunt Janie who came all the way from Oregon to help us get organized. A big task for sure. We miss her so much!!!

Other big news is that we are on the hunt for a high school for Allison. Can you believe it...HIGH SCHOOL!!! Unreal! Next year we will have kids in every grade from preschool to high school...oy!

Yeah for your adoption license. I know you are working so hard to help the children of Ethiopia and that makes me love you all so much. I cannot imagine taking on all that you have taken on and still be able to do that. I can't wait to see pictures of your new house and to hear more about the kids. High school huh? We're looking at COLLEGE... and I am hyperventilating.
