It is with overwhelming joy and awe that we announce..




that we passed court today and are Teamir G. A. Silva's very proud parents!




We travel in 1 week! GULP! One week!!!




I am numb and thrilled.


More later....much to do.


Peace
PS - for the faint of heart, we told Mary last week we could be ready if there were room in the end of June travel group. I don't think it tends to flow that way. Also, Dave is choosing to leave 2-3 days early if possible to spend more time in addis.
