We are home!!!!!!!

I have so many pictures to go through and haven't had ANY time to look at them at all.
It is so nice to be home and have all three of our babies under one roof.
I can't wait to write about our trip to Ethiopia......it was AMAZING!! HH is so GREAT and the kids are just wonderful. I can't say enough about Almaz and how wonderful she is and how hard she works for the children!!!!!! SERIOUSLY, this woman is an ANGEL!! The children are truly loved!! When the special mothers have to say good-bye, it is heart breaking.
Well, I finally get to post a picture of our sweet baby girl. This is not a picture from our trip...it is from a couple of weeks ago when my case manager was in Ethiopia (I will go through our pictures ASAP).


She is just a JOY and BLESSING!!!!!!




We are so in love!!!

THEY HAVE THEIR BABY!!!

This is Heather again, I just received an e-mail saying that they have their baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She said that she is such a joy, so happy and GORGEOUS!! They are homesick for their family but having a wonderful time with their travel group! I am sure that she is going to have so much to share when they return! They haven't been able to spend much time at the orphanage yet but they are hoping to spend more time there to see everyone else's little ones.

Photo Tag!


I've been tagged by my blog friend Karey. I am suppose to post the 4th picture on the 4th file on my computer & tell about it. So, here it is........

This is what happens when you let your 5 year old daughter and 2 year old son play in your daughters room while you get ready for the day:) They both came out of the room, in totally different clothes than I had put them in. My daughter likes to dress my son up in skirts, necklaces and has now gotten him addicted to lip gloss. Thankfully she will have a little sister to play with soon!

I tag Autumn, Amy, Jana, Karen and Suzi!
