D came home from work today with LOTS of basketballs, soccer balls, jump ropes & bubbles for the kids at Hannah's Hope in Ethiopia! We are also taking as much baby formula as we can, but D wanted to make sure that we took fun stuff, too :) Thank you to all of you who have bought gifts for the orphanage or given money to buy these things! Thank you most of all for praying for us as we prepare to leave on Friday!!! We're excited to think that our little darling girl will soon be here at home with us! I'm thankful for the peace that God has given me. I praying that these few days before we travel will be happy, peaceful and reassuring to the kids before we fly 8,000 miles away to Africa! I'm praising God for His tremendous love and faithfulness!

Hey Mom...just had to take out some of the names for the blog. Thanks for the comment:)
Dad and I are so proud of you, D and the kids for going on this magnificent journey to bring B into our family. We will continue to pray for your safe trip to Africa and back. We just went through your blog, and can't wait until we see B and all of you when you get back home.
Dave Stone is doing a sermon series on Making a Difference..Called to Love Others, and he explained that Jesus told Simon Peter, in Luke 5 that God is trying to tell us to go out into the world and Love others. Dad and I thought of B and you guys when Dave was talking.
Finally,We will plan on driving up when we get back from Dad's business trip. Love, Hugs and Prayers to all. I Love You.

Kelly...I just found your post on our blog. I'd love to know which 2-year-old cutie is your soon-to-be-daughter! I might just have some pictures of her...and probably just played with her last week! 8)
I, too, will thank God for the peace He has given you...as you well know, peace follows obedience. That is why you have so much peace. May God bless you mightily for following Him! I delight in your joy!! I can't wait until the homecoming!!!!
Dear Kelly,
We will be thinking and praying for you both as you begin your journey to bring home you dear little princess. Thank you so much for sharing your faith journey as well...you are a wonderful example to me! Looking forward to meeting B!
Love,

We are so excited too for the arrival of your precious new princess. We have been praying for her safety until you all can get her. Praying for a safe trip and open doors for you and D. Also for children at home waiting for their baby sister. We look forward to meeting your precious new daughter. Our love and prayer!
The "Bees" family sends our love and prayers. We are so thankful for the chance to be a witness to your obedient walk through this adoption. He is good! Hurry home now, Alec wants to teach B a Bluegrass song and Jacob wants to take her to a Cubs game.... We love you guys.
