WE ARE GOING TO AFRICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We can hardly believe it...we are actually going to Africa! This is the first of two required trips. On this trip we will visit with Christopher and Katie for a few days, talk to the official and tell him "yes we still want these children" and he will transfer foster care from the director of the baby cottage to us. It is then that a court date can be set. They said it would take a miracle, but there is a chance that we could have a court date by Christmas! Chances are more likely that it will be at the beginning of the new year, but we can pray to the author of miracles! Oh it feels so good to know things are moving forward. We long to see and hold Christopher and Katie--I cannot even describe the anticipation we are experiencing!
We will soon have many pictures to share. I can't wait!!

ARE YOU THERE YET?!! I hope you rested much and drank alot of orange juice and water. Did you get a good little bag of goodies from the airlines? Okay, now down to business, Todd, aaron received a call from the repair shop. The front end needs new ball joints, the drive line and the tie rod need replaced, and all the brakes need fixed. The back ones are leaking fluid and seizing up. The front drums need replaced. It is $750 for the brakes and $1000 to replace the front end. Let us know what to tell the guy. e-mail, aakoenigsberg@yahoo.com
Talk at you later,
