Getting to know each other

These are the days we visited Abaynesh at the care center. It was a wonderfully tough time. Beautiful to get to know our daughter...tough to compete with the nannies and other care-takers she was more attuned to. The street shot was the view outside our hotel. I really enjoyed just people watching! We had the opportunity to visit the Crown Hotel, and watch the Traditional Ethiopian Dancers. That was one of my favorite detours of the trip. Really. If only I could move like that~

First Meeting

Trying to post a bit about our trip. I think it will be slow going; Reagan is stealing the mouse and using it as a phone as I type...

Ehiopia Bound!

This is just a quick post to say...

WE ARE LEAVING FOR ETHIOPIA IN 12 DAYS!!!

Our little Reagan turned 1 this month. So, we praise God that we are finally able to bring her home. Army life, finances and waiting for the background check drew out the process a bit. I can't believe I am going to meet the daughter I have only dreamed about so far. God is good.


Two of my younger sisters are flying up to watch our kids. I'm thankful to have something familiar amidst the chaos. We are hoping to close on a home purchase on Monday. I want to say that things are, "crazy." However, I think I should change that to, "normal."

Normal. Normal. Normal. For us at least.

p.s.

We had our first crayfish feed last week. Thanks to some very special friends. Not bad...
