Ethiopia Update #4: HOME!

We've been home for a few days now and things are good ... very good.  Hearing our toddler say "Dad-dy" & "Mom-my" with his little accent is awesome! The kiddos seem to be adjusting well to their new home.  We've got some medical appointments over the next week dealing with everything from teeth to nutrition.

The trip home was exhausting: 24 hours on planes and in airports with a 3-year old and infant ... not the greatest experience but one we'll definitely remember.  Neither of us slept much at all.  We are still playing catch-up while trying to keep up with our boys :)

Some random stuff:

• We are very grateful for America.


• The Ethiopian people are amazing: humble, kind, & affectionate.


• Ethiopian coffee = very, very strong.


• Jet lag stinks.


• Parenting is awesome.


• It is amazing how much Eyasu (toddler) is understanding us.


• We cannot begin to thank everyone for all the kindness, support, gifts, and prayers!!


• I am more convinced than ever of the sovereignty of God. His hand at times was hard to see but in hindsight His presence and plan were woven throughout the entire adoption process and our journey to Ethiopia.
