Ashley's First Email: Saturday, May 15th
Well, we are here! We met Sheryl and her sister in Frankfort. Our flight arrived right on time and the visa process and customs was very smooth. Our driver was waiting for us, and we all fit with our luggage comfortably. The drive to the guest house was, well…interesting, to say the least! Mom, I’m sure you remember, it was very much what you’ve described to me about Italy. The guest house is nice, I think we’ll feel safe here. The walk to Layla is not very far. After we got here, we unloaded our things and then our driver took us to a resturaunt to eat. We had spaghetti and bottled water. We’re back here now and getting ready to head back to our room and get unpacked. Gail says she’ll be here around 10 am to pick us up in the morning…I’ll email as soon as I can , but it will most likely be tomorrow night, probably after the boys go to bed. It’s so crazy to me to think that I’ll be putting them to bed tomorrow night!!! The country here is beautiful, but everyone is exactly right, lots of poverty…it’s going to be a tearful week I’m sure. Whew. Well, I’m off, give Gray and Hunter LOTS of hugs and kisses for me and tell them I’ll email and tell them all about their new brothers!!! Thanks for all the emails mom, it makes it easier to be away.
Lots of love to you!!!
Lincoln and Ashley

So you may not get these comments until you're already home mothering a family of 6, but I'm so excited to hear that you arrived safely! I googled Ethiopia's time zone and have been thinking and praying for each leg of the trip! I can't believe that as we sleep, you'll FINALLY be wrapping your arms around Sintayehu and Bizayehu!
Praying that you've been able to sleep (funny, I know) and for simply perfect moments in the coming hours...
