Remember how I logged on here yesterday and cried? Well, the theory is proven YET AGAIN, as soon as I complain, I get what I want. My husband learned this ages ago and apparently, the Ethiopian Government has learned as well.

We get to go get him!

Excuse me while I plaster the internet with cuteness beyond belief. I present to you Siyum Yohannes. Behold his sweet and amazing face.

Don’t you just want to EAT HIM UP HE’S SO CUTE?!?! You do. I know you do. I do.

Oh and we are leaving……..(wait for it)………(wait for it)………(drum roll please)… SUNDAY!

HOLY SCHNIKIES.

Love you all. Thank you so much for all your support throughout this crazy process. I’ve appreciated more than you’ll ever know.

Jamie, Mike, Delaney and Siyum Yohannes

Hi. My name is Jamie and I’m a bad blogger. The first step is acceptance.

The truth of the matter is that I didn’t feel like talking about ANYTHING ELSE except traveling to Ethiopia to pick up our son Siyum. I didn’t want to log on here and talk about how we went swimming and how we’ve painted our bedroom and lit fireworks on the fourth of July. I wanted to log on, post pictures of Siyum’s cute face and then yell in all caps that we are going to Ethiopia to get him.

But alas, that is just not happening. We still don’t have a travel date. I thought for sure we would be in Ethiopia by now. And we is SO NOT.

So, I’m sorry for not posting. For a MONTH. That’s why. I had my next post all lined out and this was not it. I’m, at this point, what we like to call ANNOYED.
