the countdown begins...

In a couple of weeks, we will hop a plane back to Africa. This time to Ethiopia. We have been blessed with another son, Joshua Tariku. Tariku means "God's Story" in Amaharic. Could anything be more true? When we began this journey two and a half years ago...the story would be written by God. He knew the road to our next child would bend from Jo'burg to Addis and there we would be united with second son. Through the years Toby has been repeating a mantra that he first heard from me at the beginning of this long labor when a couple months seemed like years to a then toddler...and when my faith was low he would say it back to me, "he's coming at just the right time." So here we are, at just the right time, ready to meet our baby and bring him home. come on may 5th!
