Our New Boy....
Hello! I know I know….it’s been a long time. I’m a pretty busy person. I’ve started a new job and it’s keeping me much busier than my previous job. In addition, it’s summer time and I tend to stay even busier in the summer.
We have very good news….GREAT NEWS actually. Dan and Tiffany are going to Ethiopia on Friday, July 25th to bring the newest member of our family, Bennett Petros Bekele Engelhardt, home! This has been a pretty long process but totally worth the wait. We are now in the home stretch! There will be many adjustments for Bennett as well as Dan and Tiffany, but I’m willing to bet that Bennett will have much more to adjust to.
We could not be happier! After planning their shower (which was scheduled for July 27th) and getting the news that they would not be here, we decided to postpone it until Bennett has had a little bit of time to adjust to a new life and bond with his parents.
I cannot express how grateful we are for everybody’s good wishes and support throughout this process. We continue to learn a lot about life and how important family and friends will always be. We love him so much already and cannot wait to FINALLY meet him, touch him, play with him and have him in our lives! He's a very lucky boy to have such great parents too. Please take some time to watch their video introduction of their son and our newest grandchild:

Meanwhile, Miss Avery has been pretty busy herself since my last blog. She is growing so fast……I look at her and wonder where the time has gone already. She is now crawling and has started dancing which is the cutest thing in the world to me right now. Check her out:
