We're leaving on a jet plane in less than 72 hours

Wow. Life has turned into a whirlwind. I can't keep my days straight, but we are so excited that in a matter of days, we will have Isaac in our arms. I do hope to be able to post while in Ethiopia. Please keep us in your prayers, especially for safe travel, good health, and that God will be preparing Isaac's heart for the changes that he will soon face. We're hoping to finish packing tonight. I still can't believe that we are so close to getting our little boy. God is so good and faithful! We did receive an update on Isaac today. He's growing!

From our caseworker, Natalie:

"I received a brief update on Isaac Hussen today with his current measurements:

Height- 26 ½ inches Weight- 19.40 pounds Foot Length- 4 ¼ inches

Waist (around belly button)- 19 inches"
