Thursday Update

This one will be short but apparently there are people out there who are addicted to this blog and I will do what I can to be an enabler for the Ethan addicts!

No, Ethan cannot stay with us in the apartment yet. We are still making twice daily visits to the orphanage.

We are planning a farewell party for Ethan's room at the orphanage. We are going to purchase fruit and juice, perhaps balloons, so that we can make leaving the orphanage a positive experience for Ethan. This will be a week from next Monday, when we can take Ethan with us as we leave.

Much more we could write but we are short on time, the internet cafe is packed with people waiting on computers. Love y'all. Later.

awww Ethan Addicts.. I like the sound of that...we need T shirts now. EA support group! LOL Well anyway, Im sorry he cant stay in the apartment with you but the farewell party sounds wonderful!I bet it makes you sad somewhat to know all the ones that are being left behind. Do you guys know any of the details of his being in the orphanage? I didnt know if they can share any info like that with you or not? Take care and we are all eagerly awaiting your next blog and your safe arrival...as usual, prayers are flowing freely, and may God continue to keep you all safe! Love,Shelley

yes, we all are Ethan addicts!!!!
but that is a good thing this time.
Oh my, there are so many questions, so little space. Of course we are praying for you that the time would go quickly, that your time with Ethan would be great, even more bonding and all.
Love, Mom/Grandma H.

I'm sure Ethan will enjoy the party, but will enjoy leaving with his Mama and Papa even more. Looking forward to seeing all of you home again. We love you!

FYI ... that chocolate posting, well, it was NOT me! :>) But, I do concur! We miss you and you know, you add tremendous value! We are discussing EAA t-shirts - Ethan Adicts Anonymous.
"Hi, I'm Jean, and yes, I am an Ethan addict."
"Hi, Jean....."
Rain, rain, rain today. They are calling for snow. Carol wants a snow day. I said, "Steph said 'No Snow Days!'" You better get home before everything falls apart!
I find we have lots more $ when I don't pay the bills. j/k
Everything is fine, this week has flown for us. Hope your days pass quickly so you can bring your little guy home soon. Bestest blessings, Steph & Joe!
