Meet our newest addition: ASLAN!!



This is our new sweet golden retriever, ASLAN. He was named after the lion in The Chronicles of Narnia. Hopefully, he will live up to his name, as ASLAN in the Narnia, represents God. We expect perfectionism: No chewing our shoes, or eating our drip lines, or jumping on kids and making them cry, digging holes, running away, ect... As you can guess, we have experienced all of the above with our other puppies who were named wrong. "POWER", was the worst and most disobedient. I still have images of Jason chasing him around in a circle with much frustration. (I must abmit, it was a hilarious sight, seeing my calm husband get so frustrated." I could completely relate because I had done the same thing and wanted to strangle the dog. Never, ever name a dog, "Power".

Progress!!!


What do these numbers signify? Well, our Dossier (adoption paperwork) has finally been approved and we are officially on the waiting list for Ethiopia. We received the exciting phone call yesterday. We are #91 for a girl, #71 for a boy, and #39 for siblings. We are praying specifically for twins. We do not yet know what the new waiting time frame will be due to the changes that have occurred. But, we have made significant progress, and for that we are very thankful.
