Home!

Hello friends,

36 hours of travel and 2 lost bags later (thanks United), we made it home! Due to some schedule changes, we got back a couple of days early, so we get to spend Christmas morning at home instead of on an airplane. It was an amazing trip - more details in the days to come. Time to rest...

Ethiopia Update

Hello friends,

 

We just wanted to drop a quick line to tell you all we made it here safely, and that Anna is as wonderful and perfect as we expected.  We have mostly been taking it easy so far, hanging out at the House of Hope and getting to know our new daughter.  Anna does everything you would expect a 4-month-old to do.  She enjoys watching everything going on around her, likes her tummy time, wakes up Mom and Dad in the middle of the night, spits up quite frequently.  Everyone here says she is very serious, but we've gotten a lot of smiles out of her in the last day.  I guess she was just waiting for her mom and dad to get here from America...

Leaving Tomorrow

Hi all,

Tomorrow is the day! We leave at 7:30 AM (thanks for the ride, Dad), and arrive in Addis Ababa Monday night. We will be back in the evening on Christmas day.

I'm not sure if we will be able to post while we are over there, but we will do our best. Thanks for all your support in this journey - next time you hear from us, we'll have met Anna!
