Back in Line

Well, last week marked Micah being home for 6 months...WOW, I can not believe how fast the time has gone. He is an absolute blessing to us and we can not believe how perfect he fits into our family. He has grown so much in the past 6 months: Physically, Emotionally, and Behaviorally. He definitely knows what he wants and makes sure you are aware! He has lots of words that he uses, his favorite new word is CHEESE :). Now that Micah has been here 6 months we can file with the courts for his re-adoption and then he becomes a US citizen...YIPPEE!! The paperwork will end....well kinda!?!?! That brings me to the other BIG NEWS we have....we are just finishing up the paperwork for our 2nd Ethiopian adoption. YUP that's right, call us crazy but we are going for #2!! We are requesting a girl 18-36 months and our agency said that the wait time for a referral will be about 4-6 months, after that there will still be several more months before we will have court and travel. So it looks like late winter/early spring we will have some PINK in this house :) We are so excited to go back to Ethiopia and complete our family. Stay tuned for some updated pics of Micah and we will also update everyone along the steps of this new journey we are about to embark on!!! Melissa

It makes me so excited. I can't wait for a new niece. Jonathan is so psyched to see Micah on Sunday. I still haven't told him about our playdate next week. He will probably burst with joy!
