cleared for takeoff

Praise God!  I just got an email that we're cleared for an embassy date!  We should be able to leave this weekend to pick up my sweet Lucy and bring her HOME!  I'm SO happy for all of you, because you'll finally get to meet her :) and so VERY happy and blessed to be bringing her home!  (Our embassy appointment is tTues April 12, so pray that all goes smoothly!).  (My heart could burst! Thank you Lord!)

*travel notes:  We leave Friday morning for DC, and then a 13 hour flight to Addis Ababa.  We'll be there at 7:45 am ET time, and go get Lucy that morning (yipee!).  Embassy is Tuesday at 1. We leave on Wednesday evening, and after 17 1/2 hours on a plane (with a 6 month old! ) we land in DC.  Then on to Chicago and finally, sweet CVG :) We shoudl arrive at 5:30 or so on Thursday night on United.  Anyone is welcome to come get a sneak peek at Lucy at the airport, (but beware that it could be a lot of waiting around!). 
Key prayer times:  Tuesday's embassy appointment and the long flight home :) , but we'll take 'em any time!  Thanks friends!
