Cookies

Yesterday’s news was tough to hear, but after some chocolate, a lovely husband, four episodes of the Office & a good night’s sleep, I feel ready to face the continued wait. This was a minor setback; not a calamity. Our agency has already re-issued the correct paperwork to the Ethiopian courts, so now we wait on a new court date.

And we got this update today about our little guy from our agency:
“When I come in a child’s room, I will walk past the child I am visiting rather walking directly up to the child so I do not startle him/her; [Baby Barto] reached out and grabbed me before I could get by! He seems particularly happy with a cookie in his hand and as I write this he is attempting to overwhelm his neighbor and take her cookie! I think he has been successful in the past judging by his figure!”

P.S. Cindy, please add me to your list. I had been meaning to e-mail you and then was all sad this weekend when your blog went private. I'm such a slacker. My e-mail: livewithlaughter@ hotmail.com

That update is awesome. I think Baby Barto and Baby Olly have something in common probably - little chubby legs.

I will definitely send you an invite, sorry I just got back here from Tuesday.

Excited to know about your new courtdate...
