Hello everyone.. this is just jurnea hear to tell you what we all did today..
This morning we woke up and had scrambled eggs and good banana bread.. delicious! then we went to go see Misgana and Sara.. they still looked super cute! (: we found out sara was born about 45 minutes before misgana.. we have the oldest in the family is a boy and the youngest in the family is a boy! (: so the circle is complete! (: ha. When we came back from seeing them we had amazing ethiopian food! and then we went SHOPPING.. except this shopping was not the normal shopping we had lots of little boys come up and ask us if we wanted to buy little gum packets from them because they wanted money.. it was really hard to say no thank you but there were way to many of them to give them all money.. we bought lots of great stuff.. and bartered a lot today.. pre exiting! (: after that we came back and had some american food.. burger and fries.. nummy!! (:
everyone in my family says hi and hugs from everyone.. we all miss you! and thank you so much for the post! it means a lot to us to have friends and family back home to be there when we come back! we all miss you!! thanks a bunch- Jurnea <3 (:

We’re so glad things are going well! Thanks for posting so we can share in your journey. We are anxious to meet the new members of your family!
Praying for your family and a safe return trip.
We are thinking and praying for you from Boyden. We can’t wait to meet those babies.
Many, Many Blessings!
I am just to keep posting until you are home. Makes it feel like you are not half a world away. Sounds like you are having a nice time there, which is good. Selfishly, I am missing you all here. Give the babies kisses for me tomorrow (or today or yesterday… whatever it is there now) Enjoy your trip and give everyone my love.

Sounds like things are going well. Hope your trip home goes well. Give the twins a hug and squeeze from us.
First of all to Jurnea – if I knew you had cell phone reception and the time difference wouldn’t have made things so goofy I would have called to wake you up and tell you that “it snowed here. Everyone else already knows so I had to tell someone!” Does this sound familiar??? Second of all to Marvella – if Sara was born first then your whole naming scheme is messed up!! Third of all to all of you – wishing you blessings as you bond with these two wonderful children and can’t wait to see you on Friday and meet them. Love to you all from the Van Briesen’s
This is great that we can send notes to you. Been thinking about you this week. Can’t wait to see those kids! By the way, if you haven’t heard, it snowed here last night! Have fun!
