Lion of Judah

Lion of Judah
The Lion of Judah (Haile Sellassie) on the old Ethiopian flag was our inspiration for naming our baby Judah!

Closer to Judah!!!

We got our Court date!!!  We will need to arrive in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on November 25th, on the 26th we will finally meet and hold our sweet baby Judah, and on the 27th we will attend High Court to officially become Judah's parents!  We have waited so long for this day to come!  In less than three weeks we get to see our son.  EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!! 

This song is quite fitting for the occasion....

"Closer To Love"
She got the call today
One out of the gray
And when the smoke cleared
It took her breath away
She said she didn't believe
It could happen to me
I guess we're all one phone call from our knees
We're gonna get there soon

If every building falls
And all the stars fade
We'll still be singin' this song
The one they can't take away
I'm gonna get there soon,
She's gonna be there too
Cryin' in her room
Prayin' Lord, come through
We're gonna get there soon

Oh it's your light,
Oh it's your way,
Pull me out of the dark
Just to show me the way
Cryin' out now
From so far away...
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love

Don't apologize
For all the tears you've cried
You've been way too strong now for all your life
I'm gonna get there soon,
You're gonna be there too
Cryin' in your room,
Prayin' Lord come through
We're gonna get there soon
'Cause you are all that I've waited for
All of my life
You are all that I've waited for
All of my life
You pull me closer to love
Closer to Judah


Here are some pictures of Judah's room....the only thing missing is his rocking chair which will arrive in a few weeks.








Now it is time to buy some plane tickets!!!!!  Looking forward to updating you after we return from our trip!
