Now that our Dossier is safely in the hands of the Christian World Adoption Ethiopian office we are getting more excited about bringing home our baby boy. Last weekend I bought the cutest bedding set for him. It is the Santa Barbara collection from Pottery Barn Kids, just like Micah and Hannah their little brother will love the beach! Later today we are going to start getting all the odds and ends out of his room so we can paint it this week. Currently his room is home to our ironing board, the kids' computer, and Hannah's desk. Pictures will be coming.
We have a name chosen for him, Jonah Tyler, followed by his Ethiopian name which we can still not disclose. We chose Jonah because it follows the "ah" theme we have going with each of our kids' names and we also like the meaning of it. Jonah means "peace" which is fitting for this time in our lives when we are still struggling to find peace after losing Elijah last August. Tyler is my little brother's name. Tyler shares a special connection with our kids because they were all internationally adopted, plus Micah and Hannah adore him just as I know Jonah will. Hopefully everything will move faster than we expect it to and we'll have him home soon.
