Brown Eyes
John Owen has brown eyes--medium chocolate if you will. I believe our next son will have brown eyes too! I find myself looking at every dark-skinned, brown-eyed child wondering "Will my son look like that?" "Will his hair curl like that?" It's a nice feeling, not an agonizing one. It means we're close to a referral and by close I mean I really have no idea when we'll get one. At the end of May we will have been waiting exactly nine months for a referral. How funny would it be if we got one then? I hope we get one soon and believe that it could be. Things have picked up some in Ethiopia and it seems that referrals are trickling in more frequently. But...if we must wait another nine months, then we know that is what is best because God does what is best. That will give me more time to imagine what he looks like, smells like, feels like. We have toyed with a few names, but will hold off sharing until we've gotten that referral. God has so graciou...
