Still No Word

We don't know anything new; we haven't had an update since Monday night and it is wearing on me. It is hard to know that we will not hear anything today or tomorrow because it's the weekend. I am trying to stay busy doing stuff around the house so that I don't think about it so much, but I can only clean, walk the dog, and mow the lawn so much :) I feel like our life is on hold until we get that phone call saying we can fly to Ethiopia.

I am pretty sure the Bethany families that are in Ethiopia met their kids yesterday. I am thinking they met Ruby too and hopefully they held her and gave her our love. I sent a couple sleepers and a little blanket along with one of them to give to Ruby; hopefully at least one of them fits her. I also sent some pictures of us along with them so the care givers will be able to look at them and recognize us when we get there. I am hoping they will have a chance to email a picture or two of Ruby to us, but I know internet connection is very spotty.

I would really appreciate your prayers. The days have been very long for me and as time goes on I feel like it gets harder and harder to wait. In the last picture I got of Ruby she looks like she lost some weight so that is hard to see; I am so ready to get her home and love on her.
