Not much to say...I posted my itinerary on the side bar for those of you wondering what my visit might be like. Our agency is going to be working with a new hotel in Kras that has internet access in the rooms and is only $100/night...we may or may not stay there on this trip...depends on availability but most likely will stay there for court. I can't wait to see Ellie and I am also excited to see if she has grown, if she seems to remember me. Besides the obvious excitement of being with my child, I am anxious to speak to the in-country staff with regards to the rumors of court dates slowing down in Kras.
We had a pretty full weekend. I took the older two to a movie on Friday night while Adam had Flip at a birthday party. We saw National Treasure and I was surprised at how well I liked it...now I will have to go back and watch the first one. Saturday morning we had another birthday party at a park and it was a beautiful day to play outside...we got to run home for just few hours before we had to be back out for Ruthie to practice AWANA games...the competition is this weekend. When she was finished we took the kids and two of Ruthie's friends putt-putt golfing and for ice cream and then the two girls spent the night. (Is there anything like little girls having a sleepover? giggling and talking allLLLLLLL night)
After church on Sunday we had the opportunity to take one of the missionaries our church sponsors to lunch...that was really fun and very informative...he is from Bangladesh and adoption is illegal there...in case you wondered. One of his missions is children's homes...his group currently runs 3 homes and has the goal of opening 3 more in the next few years!

Congratulations on your upcoming trip to visit Ellie. I was at that point myself when I got the Call! Yippee!! I know you will enjoy your time with Ellie and be able to have some good mommy time (and grab some additional photos). Safe travels and great to hear the good news!
I'm not sure which of the National Treasure movies I liked more. They're both good.
Sounds like you and all the kids had a great weekend.
