This Time Next Week

This time next week, we will be in Ethiopia anxiously awaiting our trip to Mekelle to meet our son and daughter!!!  Words can't describe the excitement and emotion that is within me.
So, I am nick named "Almost Ready Angie" and, well, I am ALMOST ready...definitely not there yet.  Getting ready to run a bunch of errands so I'm a little bit closer.

Have to post a couple of pics:
Beautiful Morning Last Sunday

Our Christmas Break Visitor:

D's friend came to the front door one evening and when we opened it, in flew this female cardinal(I think).  She initially wouldn't leave the chain holding our foyer chandelier which is 20 some feet high.  Thankfully, she flew to D's room and we quickly followed to enclose her in the room and found her on D's Christmas Tree...So sweet!!  She then flew around visiting all sorts of places and sang for us too.  In D's bathroom, Drake carefully was able to wrap a towel around her and escort her outside where she happily flew off.
