Birth Certificate!

We just got Jonas' birth certificate!  It's so interesting...his legal name in Ethiopia has now been changed to "Yonas Ross (and then our last name)."  In Ethiopia children take their father's name as their last name.  So instead of Yonas Tagesse, he is legally Yonas Ross in Ethiopia!  :)  He looks like such a little man in his picture.  :)  Now we wait for final word from the Embassy concerning the results of his TB test.  After that, we'll hopefully get a travel date!  


Time to kick packing into high gear!!!  Woo-hoo!

I'm making a small album of family and friends for Jonas to look at when he comes over to "Grandmas's House." I can hardly wait to hold him and love him. :)

Very exciting! He does look like such a little man in his pictures. I think he's going to be a charmer.
