The Last Leg of Halima's Journey

Dear friends,
We will keep you updated on this adventure of bringing our Somali daughter home. We are making plans to leave 9/16, Wednesday morning.

For now a bit of a cute story. With all the wonders she's seen since leaving Africa, the one she was most excited about was the parakeets in a neighbors apartment. She was so excited to see these colorful birds up close and she needed me to SKYPE her with the webcam so I could see them as well. There were about 5 of different colors in a large cage. I saw our common pet through new eyes and it was a joy.

I'll try to record as best I can our journey. Thank you for sharing it with us.
