They're coming HOME!

"Embote!  Nalingi yo!"  I yelled into the phone. 
From the other end I heard a stream of lingala, the voices of my parents speaking English, and a little, "Kadi say..." and then a little voice with an accent said,
"Hello?  I love you!"
Those were the first words I heard from my newest little brother. 
 
 
Yes!
 They're coming home!
*TONIGHT*!
 
 
I can finally spill the beans!  I have had to wait for what feels like forever to tell you, but now I can!
 
They're coming home!
 
Before I go further, I want to show you my sister...
 
Isn't she precious!
 
My parents have been in Congo for the past two weeks,
 and they finally landed in America!
I wasn't allowed to put anything on the blog for safety reasons, and that was hard!  But now I can finally tell you all.
 
 
These two *Gilbartes* will be forever home in about 6 hours!
 
They have been in Congo together for the past 10 days.
They have been traveling home for the past 30 hours
They will be home in 6 hours.
Forever.
 
We have been able to Skye a little, and talk on the telephone some.
I have talked to my brother.
I have seen more pictures.
I have had at least half a dozen dreams about them coming home.
they'll be here so soon!
 
I'll post again with homecoming pictures tomorrowish. 
Please, keep us in your prayers!

Give your mom a back massage (that's what I did) and you all get some sleep!

Blessings and Congrats!
