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!!!
