Mari-Liis is Coming for a Visit

Hooray! We are so excited at our house because we found out this week that Mari-Liis, our foreign exchange daughter/sister is coming with her family for a visit sometime between Christmas and New Years. We have missed her so much and cannot wait to see her again and meet her dad, brother and stepmom. Now we are really praying that I will be home with Levi before Christmas so that she will be able to meet him. That would be the best present I could receive this year!!
