I think I've gained 10 lbs already. I just LOVE this food! Ethiopia is for me. We're moving here - just as soon as I can convince Bob that Ethiopia is for him too. :) The weather is perfect, no temperature control needed. As is, is just right.
Met some adorable, super friendly, wonderful kids yesterday at the feeding program. They welcomed us so warmly and with great interest. Oh, my heart.
Going to church today, then having spicy dorowat for lunch with a freshly butchered chicken.
Tomorrow morning we will go to the agency's office for some paperwork and information about the kids, followed by lunch at a local restaurant, then go meet them. They will come back to our guesthouse with us at that time. We are definitely excited about our opportunity to meet them drawing near, and yet we have enjoyed this time of resting, visiting with the other family who is here from Michigan, and the 2 of us just being together. The agency is quick to tell you that "this trip is NOT a vacation". I don't think they had 5 kids at home. ;) Gladly, the 'vacation' portion ends tomorrow and the work begins.
Thank you for reading and for your kind words.

p.s. - I don't know about you guys, but I'm dying to see the pictures! I guess we'll have to wait until they return for that.

So happy to hear about things....glad for the updates! I also cannot WAIT to see pics!

Thanks Stephanie... you're too kind. I'm just glad to be able to update for Tisha while she is away. And, she knows that I'm such a computer freak, so leaving me with this responsibility only means that the updates will be very, very timely. I check email too many times during the day. :)
Yay!!! Enjoy every moment if you can! Can't wait to catch up with you when you are home w/ your newest babies. :)
