I'm sure this blog will seem random at first. It would be nice to think that I could have kept a running blog from day one. There's no way! Between Ned's schedule with HMX over the past year, moving home to Ohio for the summer, moving to California, getting kids in school and managing a deployment, it would have been impossible to keep up with this. So I hope I can keep up for the next couple weeks until we have a new daughter for you all to meet here on US soil!

In this picture you will see the true heroines of our story...on the left, Anges Mukabaranga - lawyer and Biehl Family advocate extraordinaire!...and on the right, a woman walking as a saint - Sister Allison from Mother Teresa's orphanage. The cutie patootie in the middle is Josie!
