The Pig.

As many of you know we are adopting a baby girl from Ethiopia. We are almost done with all of our paperwork, and then will begin the waiting.

Our kids love talking about "the baby". They talk about her name, who will feed her, what she will do... everything they can talk about regarding a baby they do.

They also ask to get her anything baby and pink... so every time we go to target they have asked to get her this pig since the beginning summer.

The other day, we were getting a few things and we walked right by the pig... So here come the questions..."can we get the baby the pig?".

The answer has been no all summer... but this time I asked them why would they want to get the baby a pig (piggy-bank). Their answer was..."so we can help save money for her". (I think they hear Robbie and I talk about saving for our travel there)

So, how can you say no to that?

So along with Robbie and I saving our pennies... our sweet kids are too.

The PIG looks great in her room, and is a reminder that we are just one more step closer to knowing who she will be and what she will look like.

We are so excited for this coming change.

It looks like she will come home next summer... and although that seems like a long time away... I am sure it will be here in no time!
