We set up this blog to help our family and friends follow our journey to Ethiopia to get our son, Gavin. Now, 2.5 years later, we have added 4 more children to our family. We hope this blog will be an encouragement for others to boldly step out in faith and do whatever it is God is calling you to do!

Update!!
We just received an update and this picture of Gavin. He is pretty little, wearing size 4T clothing, so he and Layne are going to be about the same size. It also says that he DOESN'T speak Amaharic, but a dialect called Benchi. We will try to get on the internet this afternoon and download some phrases in Benchi. His personality is described as quiet and reserved--I'm sure that's because of all of the change that he's gone through and the language barriers. Please pray that he will learn English quickly when he gets here. We leave in 3 more days!!

ReplyDeleteSo I dont know y'all but was linked here from the Egly's blog. For some reason, seeing the picture of your little boy just made me cry. He looks like *such* a sweet boy. I pray God's blessings over you all as you make this transition... what a rich honor and blessing.
