Court tripWe've been home for just over a week.. <br />
Life has been a whirlwind since stepping off the plane but i know i have neglected updating you :) sorry! <br />
This only chronicles our first 4 days but it gives a glimpse into our experience..<br />
<br />
Written Thursday, 12/29<br />
 <br />
We have arrived!!! :) We are in Ethiopia!!<br />
The flight was insanely long and we're surviving on 3 hours of sleep right now but we're here, settling in at our guest house in Addis Ababa. We are relaxing, after lunch, in the community sitting room of the guest house with the windows open and the breeze blowing the curtains across the room. The sounds from outside range from barking dogs to children playing, car horns to crowing roosters.. There are 2 donkeys living on the street just outside our gate :) Maybe they are someone's pet? There are almost no traffic lights here.. lots of round-abouts instead. And crowds of people crossing the street, walking in the median.. and this is on the highway! Needless to say, the ride from the airport was interesting and exciting!! On one "off ramp", a horse drawn carriage exited just as our van nearly clipped his wooden buggy..<br />
The dust in the air has really affected our allergies. I am breathing only through my mouth right now :)Â very lovely, as you can imagine. Hopefully my benadryl will kick in soon. Many roads are dirt and there seems to be a great deal of construction, which has caused a lot of dirt and dust in the air.<br />
There are eucalyptus trees everywhere, so pretty and different to see. Corrugated metal seems to be a material commonly used in roofing and in privacy structures.. With the sun gleaming off of the metal and the brightly painted blue, pink, green, and terracotta homes; the hoards of people walking in their Orthodox Christian white robes; the random but constant animal noises... ahhh, Ethiopia!<br />
The adventure has officially begun! :)<br />
Tonight we are taking the evening to rest.. tomorrow we will meet Violet's social worker and fly north with her to the orphanage. That is when we will finally meet our baby for the first time!! We are excited and thrilled beyond words.. It is the moment we have awaited for over three years.. The miracle of this entire experience is humbling.. We are so thankful to be here and thankful for your love and prayers. Please continue to pray for our safety and protection, for our health and Violet's, and for our MOWYA letter to be in the judge's hands for our court date next Tuesday! I will email as often as possible. The next time will probably be Saturday evening when we return to Addis after the trip north.<br />
We love you!! Happy New Year!! And God bless...<br />

Update #2 (written Mon, Jan 2)<br />
 <br />
Hello and Happy New Year!!<br />
We wanted to send an update on our trip..<br />
It is Sunday afternoon here and we just returned from visiting a church this morning, followed by lunch at Ethiopia's only golf course. We are still getting used to the Ethiopian currency.. our bill for the two of us was 220 birr, which sounds craaaazy expensive but it translates to approximately $13. So not too shabby! :)<br />
The church was nice... it was in English, not Amharic (the Ethiopian language) or Ge'ez (the ancient language of Ethiopia only spoken in Orthodox churches, kind of like Latin Mass). There were a ton of families who were either going to court, like us, or here for Embassy (trip #2).. so lots of little babies and kiddos with their new families.. super sweet to see!<br />
This evening we are going out to a traditional Ethiopian restaurant with dancing and music.. it should be fun and entertaining!! There are other adoptive families at our guest house that we are touring the town with and our agency has arranged all of the activities and a tour guide/expert on all things Ethiopian. So we are basically just sitting back and going where they tell us.<br />
Friday, we flew to a town in Northern Ethiopia, where Violet's orphanage is located. Its in what is called the Tigray region, near the ancient capitol, Axum. Violet's social worker accompanied us.. We were met at the airport by the orphanage director and he could not have been more kind or gracious. The video of walking through the gates and meeting her is so amazing and special.. I don't have words to describe it but I will upload the video as soon as we are home so we can email it to you :) She is absolutely, positively the cutest baby in the entire universe!!! Our hearts melted the second we saw her and being able to hold her and make her laugh was more wonderful than I could have even imagined. Our lives are forever changed.. She is such a good baby too. The social worker, nurse, and the orphanage staff all told us that she was the happiest baby they have ever seen. They said they have told one another that her family will be the luckiest family :) :) We think so too!!<br />
I cannot wait to post photos of her! She has her first tooth coming in and she just started crawling 2 weeks ago! We have the best video of her crawling.. she doesn't use her legs yet, only her upper body. So she looks like someone in Basic Training boot camp, pulling herself across the floor! And she is an absolute piglet :) Eating anything and everything! We fed her a bottle once and bread and noodles another time.. Stuart was even able to rock her to sleep yesterday afternoon before we flew back to Addis Ababa. We took so many photos.. hundreds!!!! <br />
Oh and her hair is fantastic! Its silky soft and curly but soft and wavy around her hairline.. I can't wait to play to with it!!<br />
I had thought that our hearts would be broken about having to leave her.. but the people at the orphanage love her so much. They were unbelievably kind and loving. Even our social worker said that it is a special place.. that most orphanages are run like businesses and are only for money. But this place is run like a ministry and they consider the children to be a part of their family. We could not have asked for a better place for her to have lived for the past 10 1/2 months.. and our hearts are blessed to know that she is so well cared for until we can return for her.<br />
God has answered our prayers in more ways than we even asked for.. We are so thankful for this, for her, for you and your love and prayers.. This has been a journey of a lifetime and its only just begun.. we still have another 5 days in Ethiopia and the adventure of parenthood ahead of us!!!! :) :) :) :)<br />
We love you so much!! Please keep us in your prayers..<br />

We fly out tomorrow to see our sweet Violet later this week and go to court next week!!!!!<br />
<br />
I am usually full of words and thoughts and all sorts of babbling...<br />
but I am sort of speechless right now.<br />
<br />
In the midst of all of the happiness and joy, I am in shock over the idea that this could actually be happening. It just doesn't seem real yet..<br />
Maybe tomorrow when we begin our 2 1/2 day journey to Ethiopia ;) haha.<br />
Oh yeah, somewhere in the enormity of lingering over the Atlantic Ocean for hours and hours and hours, I do believe that reality will hit me!<br />
<br />
Please keep us in your prayers for safety and protection.. and that the proper paperwork will be the judge's hands on January 3!! So that we can bring our girl home already!!!! <br />

<br />
Woohoo!<br />
<br />
The past 2 weeks have been a blur of travel arrangements, planning, purchasing, researching, praying..<br />
I don't really know how I also managed to work... and Stu worked <i>and</i> went to class!<br />
Its been craaaazy! Crazy crazy.. But a good crazy :)<br />
A wonderful crazy actually! <br />
<br />
What an amazing holiday season this has been for us!<br />
First a Referral on my sister and nephew's birthday.. So we were able to celebrate with my sister and her family and then again with our great friends, Brian and Ivonne, while also celebrating Stu's 40th birthday in New Orleans.<br />
<br />
Then, learning we were Submitted To Court while my parents were visiting for Thanksgiving.. giving us one more incredible thing to be thankful for :)<br />
<br />
And then receiving a Court Date for January 3rd, which means that 2 days after Christmas we will be headed to Ethiopia! We will actually be with our sweet girl on New Year's Eve :)<br />
Amaaaaaazing!<br />
Then the following week, after our court date, we will be in Ethiopia's holiest city, Lalibela, for Ethiopian Christmas! They celebrate with the Orthodox Calendar, like Russia, for Christmas. <br />
<br />
The feelings overwhelming me during this time are beyond explanation.. This will be the trip of a lifetime for more reasons than I can even express.<br />
To meet our child.. to actually finally hold her in my arms.. this baby that will finally be out of my head and heart and into my arms.. I cannot even comprehend it yet myself.. and then the New Year's and Christmas part too!<br />
AND add to all of that, the whole 'We're Going To Africa!' part plus the Lalibela/Indiana Jones-Adventure/Eat Pray Love-holy experience....<br />
Wow and wow and wow and holy crap!<br />
<br />
My nerves are getting to me a bit too..<br />
I'm trying my best not to stress out about all of the unforeseen, you're visiting a foreign land, don't drink the water, you're probably going to get raging diarrhea, possibly could get malaria, bed bugs are a reality, don't get pick-pocketed, don't know the language, ay ay ay ay ay.. <br />
I'm reminding myself to just take it all in stride..<br />
Enjoy the ride..<br />
and above all trust God.<br />
<br />
This entire journey has been an adventure and a miracle.. And we're ready for more!!!! :)<br />

<br />
Yes it is true!!!!!!!<br />
Unbelievably yes.. and wow.. and thank you, Jesus!! :)<br />
<br />
Our sweet girl is 8 months old and perfectly beautiful!<br />
<br />
Stu and I are over the moon in love and beyond thrilled and indescribably grateful for this miracle.. <br />
<br />
It is such a surreal moment to wait for so many years to see your child's face and then to finally see it and to know in that first instant, "Of course! This is my baby! I would recognize her anywhere!"<br />
There are no words..<br />
<br />
My sister even made a necklace for me with an inscription by Rumi that says, "From the beginning of my life, I have been looking for your face.."<br />
No truer words have ever been spoken.<br />
<br />
I have been waiting my entire life for this moment.<br />
<br />
I am a mommy!<br />
My heart is full :)Stuart and Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17405727112474523650noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786752700678515148.post-41646847599159255372011-10-17T09:52:00.000-07:002011-10-17T09:54:49.907-07:00367 days and counting....<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>Thank you to my sweet friend and client, Leah, for thinking of our Violet while on her trip to the Big Apple! :)Stuart and Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17405727112474523650noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786752700678515148.post-47044346892204679432011-09-27T09:24:00.000-07:002011-09-27T09:24:02.758-07:002012..For the past year, we have believed that our DTE aka our Dossier To Ethiopia date was October 15, 2010..<br />
Why?<br />
Well because we had an email from our social worker stating that was our date. So that has been our focus and believing that was our "spot" on "the wait list" on our agency's online discussion forum was how we came to the conclusion that we were somewhere between #1 & #3 on the list to receive a Referral next.......<br />
<br />
And that was when we last updated you.. with the belief that our day could be any moment, any hour, any day.. I spent an entire week with my phone in my pocket on vibrate, even during appointments at work, thinking it could be any second and I would have to make the exception to have my phone during a client's time just this one time.. <br />
Every hour I was excited, nervous, frantic, thrilled, anxious, in awe.... could this be the hour??<br />
<br />
That was a week and a half ago..<br />
<br />
Last Monday, when our social worker was back in her office and I spoke with her briefly, she agreed that our time was definitely soon.. she said that she had no information or emails from the country coordinator or corporate office regarding our case but she would email to see if there was any "pending information"..<br />
I wasn't sure what that meant but I'll take any information I can get!<br />
Later that day, she forwarded an email from the country coordinator that stated and I am quoting, that they "generally do not have updates on cases after they have been registered, authenticated, and translated.<span style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">. (I have that we heard this was done on 11/15/2010)" </span><br />
<br />
Ummmm...<br />
In case you missed that, I'll retype it..<br />
that was 11/15/2010..<br />
So after emailing my social worker asking what the heck? Isn't our DTE 10/15/2010??<br />
It turns out "no"..<br />
Boo.<br />
There was some sort of " miscommunication" in last year's email and we are in fact not going to be at our referral time until probably after the first of the year :(<br />
January, February 2012..<br />
<br />
Trust me, I had my pity party last week and I'm still a little wonky about the disappointment but it is what it is.. and all of the boohoo-ing in the world isn't going to change our standing or our date.<br />
<br />
So here we are..<br />
Still waiting for Violet.. clearly she just isn't ready for us and vice versa perhaps..<br />
We will get to her..<br />
just not yet..<br />
<br />
One cool thing to think about is that now we know for a fact that she and Stuart's mom were together at one time.. if we received our referral now, then they might possibly have never met but now we know that they at least had a moment together up there..<br />
and that is so special to us and worth waiting just a few more months for :)<br />
<br />
<br />
So anywho, that's where we are..<br />
<br />
Please keep your Violet Ribbon pics coming!! They are an unbelievable encouragement and joy to us, especially in light of our continued wait..<br />
We love and appreciate you all!Stuart and Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17405727112474523650noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786752700678515148.post-46718156954218124892011-09-26T19:28:00.000-07:002011-09-26T19:28:06.845-07:00Violet Ribbon on the move.. from Paris to Denver!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
Any day now will be the day that changes me forever..<br />
the day I will become a mom.<br />
Funny how even after 33 months of this process and more years than that of wanting and waiting.. and yet I'm still somehow nervous of that moment and responsibility!<br />
Its HUGE.. without even getting into the enormity of being a parent, just the moment of Referral in and of itself is huge! <br />
To wait so long, dreaming of this moment... waiting to see that face for the first time.. Ah, bliss :)<br />
<br />
I envision the referral moment as being like a birth for us. We've been in labor for over 800 days! And we're finally going to see our baby that we've been praying for, pining for, waiting for, wishing for, hoping for, dreaming about, planning our lives around, moving universes for, thanking God for.. she will finally be ours.. soon.<br />
<br />
So as we wait, just a little bit longer.. and its become evident that the moment is coming really, really soon.<br />
It could very well be in the next week! (Praying!!!)<br />
Now I'm feeling a giddiness and almost anxious high that I can't explain...<br />
its like a mixture between the day before school nerves and Christmas Eve excitement!<br />
Like the night before vacation when you can't fall asleep because you're just... happy.<br />
Like the morning of your wedding when you are equally jittery and giddy.. filled with a swarm of butterflies. <br />
<br />
I am trying to enjoy even this moment and not wish it away..<br />
I know that this too shall pass and I want to absorb it fully and document my heart as best as I can so that Violet will know how we waited for her...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Speaking of...<br />
my sister, Dawanna, made an extraordinary necklace for me as a token of my wait for Violet. I asked for a locket with a quote.. It was more difficult than you would think to choose a verse or statement that describes your heart and soul for this situation... <br />
I didn't want to pick the expected, albeit lovely, Biblical verse: For this child I have waited..<br />
I found plenty of great but super long ones.. Dawanna told me my locket would have to be the size of a dinner plate to fit them! So, clearly, I had to choose otherwise ;)<br />
<br />
After much reading and searching, I finally found it..<br />
a beautiful quote from the East Indian poet, Rumi...<br />
And so the locket says: <br />
<br />
"From the beginning of my life, I have been looking for your face"<br />
<br />
No truer words have ever been spoken..<br />
and indeed I am still looking for it.<br />
Until that referral call and email when I can finally see my Violet's sweet face :)<br />
Ah, bliss!<br />
<br />
Soon.. maybe tomorrow??????Stuart and Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17405727112474523650noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786752700678515148.post-32432971634484173482011-09-12T09:30:00.000-07:002011-09-12T09:30:23.114-07:00Violet's Ribbon..<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
