Four More Days

We are totally leaving for Ethiopia in four days! Come on people, that's some exciting stuff! So, what have we been doing since our last post? I'll tell ya' - running ourselves ragged shopping for Baby M., organizing for Isabelle, packing for ourselves and making sure we've been poked by every needle known to man and have every life-saving medication possible. Sadly, after picking up my travel meds. yesterday and reading through the warnings I feel quite sure that if a mysterious illness doesn't do me in the medications prescribed to help surely will. Seriously, if I have to take Cipro (which is apparently the only known cure for Anthrax poisoning) for an infection the chances aren't great that I'll live to tell about it. On the bright side I did purchase travel insurance and the lovely people at Travel Insured International have promised to pay for the repatriation of my remains. Whew! One less thing to worry about!

I never got to do our St. Patrick's day post so here's a little peek at our day:

Leprechaun Ears

Green Milk
Irish Dinner...Yummm

The biggest project I've been working on this week is a scrapbook for Baby M.'s birth mother. What a daunting task! Hopefully I made the right decisions on what to put in the album. We really want to show her how much we appreciate the decision she made and how much we love this little baby.

And now, for all you SNL fans, this is a segment I like to call REALLY?! with Aubrey.

REALLY?! weather.com, you're forecasting rain in Ethiopia the entire week we're there? REALLY. You mean to tell me that for the entire month of March it's been in the mid-80's to 90's and now that the Brock family is coming the temperature is going to drop by 20 degrees? REALLY?! You think that just because we live in Seattle it would be impossible for us to go without rain for five days? REALLY?!

Okay, rant over. Prepared for anything. Can't wait to get on the plane!
