Kids on the move.

We were told this week that our kids have been moved from their care center in South Ethiopia to the capitol city, Addis Ababa.  Typically, the kids are moved as the time for us to pick them up draws near, so we take this as a good sign, for us.  For them, it will be leaving their part of the world for the first time.  The trip to Addis is likely their first trip in a car; it will be the first time they've seen a paved road, buildings, street lights, so many people.  They will also have left behind the village of their birth family and the nannies that have been caring for them for the past 8 months.  We know they are resilient and strong, but our hearts ache for all the change they have had to endure in their little lives.  What a journey for us all.
