Packing

So I have started to pack ,
Donations so far
I have all the Jeans, and T's, Shoes and Soccer Balls, Packed into 2 suitcases, 118 lbs I'm hoping that it is really the 30KG in each bag with Emirates.

For brother
I am packing 1 pair of saddles and 1 pair of shoes in size 11 and 12 I have 4 outfits size 4/5 and 4 outfits 5/6 Hoping that will be good. I figure if the smaller sizes are to small I'll just wash the bigger sizes. Anything that is to small I figure I'll just leave there. I'll bring 6 boxers or briefs, by the way why are boy underwear 2X's the amount of girls? 6 pair of socks He'll be with us 6 days before we all get home.

Busy busy busy

Interesting before the last court date I had everything planned out to a T ready to go the minute I heard I past court. This time I am having trouble deciding. This is what I know. I am sure I am taking Emirates, from all the reviews it's hands down the best!!! I know I am going to Lalibella, Gondar and BahirDar. Should I take afew more days and go other places? I don't know whether to stay at TDS or a really nice more comfortable place around the corner but not with all the other families? I know I am going to Mekelle but should I spend 1 or 2 days? Oh the questions I have and how to figure it out by Monday?

It has taken so long and I am glad that NOW was finally God's timing. Now time to get busy and ready to go. We most likely will leave either Feb. 18 or Feb. 25th.

Court Date

First of all I wanted to congratulate my ORE friend who passed court today.If all goes well this week we will be travel buddies. I have a court date Thursday. Hoping for the best but prepared for the worst. It has been such a long hard journey. I ready to finish this up and get my boy home. If you are a praying person I'd love your prayer once again.

Just a little update, still no news really. My boy's father still has not been located. Court is in two weeks. I don't know which direction this is going to go. Please continue to pray for all involved.
