Resigned

I have resigned myself to several things.
1. Christmas letters are meant to be written after Christmas (and at least before Valentine's Day).
2. Catch up on blogging is meant to be done the week of Christmas break (not to say I won't post some current stuff, but August-November will just wait)!
3. We are not likely to have Karis home by next Christmas. We still need about $2000 to send off our dossier, which takes 2-3 weeks to be reviewed and translated before heading to Ethiopia. Then a 9-11 month referral wait. Then 4-6 weeks of travel arrangements, visas, birth certificate, etc. So it is still possible. But not likely.

Yesterday's post on our adoption blog was more fun, literally!
