Oh, how you are loved little Baby Longstreet! We already have all these gifts for you and you haven't even arrived yet! :) This Christmas will likely be our last Christmas as a family of four!! (For those of you wondering who the other two are, it's Penelope and Wiley - our lovable pups!) It's a very exciting thought for us. Our paperwork has been in Ethiopia for about 8 weeks now. The wait time for an infant referral is 6-12 months, and we are hopeful that we will fall at the short end of that timeline. What an amazing birthday gift it would be for us to receive our referral! Please keep it in your prayers :) It's all in God's timing, so please God can it been sooner than later? :) Thanks!
What Baby Longstreet got for Christmas this year: On the Night You Were Born from Grandma and Grandpa Grigg, the Baby Bjorn carrier from Auntie Bethy and Uncle Ryan, Our First Amharic Words and Tsion's Life from Mommy and Daddy, a big fluffy blanket from Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Herwyer, a toy sack from Aunt Amy and Uncle Zac, an authentic hand-painted mexican maraca from Aunt Shelly, sippy cups from Grandma and Grandpa Longstreet, and a custom-built toy box from Grandpa Longstreet. Mom and Dad also got a net book from Grandma and Grandpa Grigg to keep everyone posted on progress while in Ethiopia and some travel goodies because its never to early to start preparing! Thank you so much everyone for thinking of our little one!!!
Please keep our baby, the birthparents, and the caregivers in the Ethiopian orphanages in your prayers. Thank you all again for your prayers, encouragement, and support. We love you all!!!
