We Have News!

I am almost afraid to write it all down, but here it is -- Scott will travel to the Congo at the end of April to pick up Israel and bring him home!  They will arrive in early May.  I am not feeling nervous at all yet.  I am excited and thrilled.  We don't want to overwhelm him with things.  He has all the clothing he needs already in his closet.  He speaks French, so I do wish I had a few more children's books in French, but other than that, I feel as if we are well prepared.  He will be four years old on May 10th, and we are probably going to plan a celebration for some time in June.  I will be looking for a local apartment to sublet in June for some family members to come and visit.  First we want him all to ourselves.  We are looking forward to getting to know him.
