Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

I can't seem to find time to update, but here are some pix of what we've been up to this month. We celebrated Eldest's Happy Homecoming Day in February by eating ice cream with Granny and Grandpa. 

Sweet Baby has had lots of loved ones visiting and enjoying her smiles. So many people love her!

What's Going on at Our Place

Lots of happiness.

Lots of new discoveries.

Hanging out with my Cousin M.

Lots of smiles.

Lots of giggles. 

Lots and lots of cheek kissing.

Amazing

Sleepy Girl

We thought we were all doing pretty well. We went to bed around 11pm on Friday night after arriving home. We slept until about 9am, then woke up feeling great on Saturday. That lasted until early evening, when all of us starting feeling like we were coming down the flu. Fortunately it is only jet-lag. But it stinks anyway. 

We went to bed early and slept late this morning, but today we all felt even worse. So, we are hitting the hay tonight and hoping to feel much perkier by tomorrow. We lost so much sleep on our marathon flight home that it is going to take some time to feel normal again. 

Sweet baby has slept, and slept and slept some more. She sleeps all night, and then naps for long periods during the day. She is cheerful and happy and very hungry when awake, but she falls back asleep so easily. I understand the feeling. So it's back to bed for all of us, to try to sleep off some of this fog. I'll be back with more photos soon. Sweet dreams~

Kissable

Home!

We are home! Our sweet baby is a precious, adorable, snuggly, cheerful, kissable little bundle of cuteness! We just can't get enough of her, and she is such a fun and easy baby. She survived the grueling trip home with such grace. All 4 of the kids were so good, and we are so thankful to be home. 

Ethiopians are wonderful, kind, warm, hospitable people, and they made our stay in Ethiopia an amazing experience. The Holt Ethiopia staff and the Care Center nannies are doing wonderful work. The children are loved and cared for, and it was a blessing to spend time with all of them. 

Unfortunately I was never able to stay connected to the internet at the hotel to post updates during our stay. But, I will be back to share our adventures after the jet-lag fog clears a bit. For now, we are hunkering down here at home, shuffling through suitcases, and just enjoying being a family of 6. We are so thankful for all your prayers. Love to all!

Pictures to come shortly!
