Aliya is sooooo cute!!! Now that my Mom and Dad are finally home I get to hold Aliya in my own arms!!!!! Sorry, I have been too busy playing with Aliya to update my Blog. My Mom and Dad have been home for three days now! It is so good to have them home!!

Day Eight

November 21, 2008
I can't believe that my Mom and Dad have been gone for eight already. I can't believe that they are starting their trip home tonight. they will be here tomorrow. I can't wait to see them. This time has gone by so fast!!!!!!

Great News from my Mom annd Dad

My Mom and Dad just e-mailed me some great news! They said that they got the tickets to come home toight!! So they should be at our house at a sooner time than they thought!!!!!!!!!! Sorry this was soposed to be on me Mom's Blog but she gave me the wrong password. So if you know anybody that only looks at my Mom's Blog tell them the great news or tell them to look at my Blog more often!!!

Day Seven

November 20, 2008
I just got to my Grandma Farrand's house and when we got inside she told us the great news!!! This is Farrand-tastic news. Are you Ready? OK, well, she told us that my Mom and Dad and Aliya are probably going to come home... Are you ready for it? ...TOMORROW!!!!! November 21, 2008. That would mean they would be at our house on Saturday night!!!!

The only bad thing is that they can't even e-mail me. But I can't wait for them to come home!!!!!!

Day Six

November 19, 2008
I found out that my Mom and Dad are in Ethiopia right now, today, this very moment! Today I got an exiting e-mail!! My Mom and Dad might come home Friday or Monday but more likely Monday!!! I am hoping Friday but I don't know what will happen. I miss them so much!!!!!! I can't wait to see Aliya!! She is so cool!!!

I hope they come home soon 'cause they can't talk on skype when they are in Ethiopia. Only sometimes in e-mail.

Day Five

November 18, 2008
Today my Mom and Dad have not called yet! I think that is a good thing because yesterday they said that if they don't call today they are probably on their way to Ethiopia. That's two days early, so they should come home two days early!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that's what that means!!! I miss them tremendously.

Hey if you want to see the best smiling picture of Aliya go to my Mom's Blog!! This is her address: www.rjfarrand.blogspot .com. I love this picture!! If I want to laugh I just bring up her Blog and look at this picture!!!!!! :)

Day Four

November 17, 2008
Today my Mom and Dad didn't even see Aliya! Thy signed papers and sat in meetings. Look at my Moms blog to see what happened in more detail, www.rjfarrand.blogspot .com I still miss them sooooooo much. It will be great when they come back!!!!!!!!!!

I also got to talk to them today!!! It was so fun!! I love talking with them when they are in Rwanda. I like to talk with them here too, ha ha.

Day Three

November 16, 2008
Today was not as bad although I still miss them terribly!! I got to talk to my Mom and Dad to day with Skype! And I got to see Aliya move instead of a picture!!! That was exiting!!!! I can't wait for them to come home!!

I found out that they have Internet connection when they are in a cafe!! I love talking to them on the computer!!!

Day Two

November 15, 2008
Today is the second day that I have to live without my Mom and Dad. I still miss them a lot. I think they can see Aliya right now. It is 10:30am here and 5:30pm there. I wish they could come back right now.

They called us when they were in Ethiopia so that means that we can probably contact them. I'm exited! I can't wait for them to call!

Day One

November 14, 2008
Today my Mom and Dad left for Rwanda to pick up my baby sister! They had to wake up at 3:00am. I miss them so bad, but I am very, very, very, very happy that when they come back they will have my new baby sister with them! I can't wait! It is hard to stay here without them, knowing that it will be almost 2 weeks, but I know that it is worth it. I can't wait for them to come back!!!!

It is hard to contact them today because they will be on the plane all day. When they get there they said there is probably not going to be good Internet connection. I hope we can still e-mail each other!

We Have Been Approved

Hey everybody,
This morning (September 9, 2008) we got a call from our adopting agency saying that we have been officially approved, meaning we can adopt from Rwanda!! Tomorrow they will try to find a baby for us to bring home!!!!!
