Today marks 2 weeks until we fly out to Ethiopia. We are so excited. Today, I spent the day working on the girls "lifebooks" with my mom. These are like scrapbooks documenting every single thing I know about each of them and putting it in one place. Any picture I have, any medical records, anything that relates to them in any way goes in this so that they can look through it over and over and use it to walk through their grief. Also, it gives them a link to their past. I am glad to do it but it's been hours and hours of work. I know it will pay off the first time I watch them look through it.
Curt spent the week working through all the documents we need to take. Two days straight of 8 hours, papers all over the dining room table, photocopying everything 3 and 4 times and double and triple checking everything. Wouldn't the worst thing be showing up at the US Embassy in Ethiopia with something missing? Ah! Let's check it all again...
