So much to blog about!

I have so much to blog about... so I am just putting several things in this one post.

So... here are some FIRSTS

Charlotte and I gave sweet Abel a bath on Saturday morning. He loves his baths. I didn't take pictures of him getting a bath in Ethiopia but he always digs a good bath!

His first time in the car seat was actually on the way home from the hospital.. I mean, airport :-)

But after our first night at home, Charlotte and I took him for his first outting. To Babies R Us... and guess who we ran into...

JULIE BEELER and HER MOM!

Actually we knew they were going to be there. I planned on going at some point and when Julie told me her and her mom were going, we decided to meet them there. Her mom had never seen sweet Abel (only in pictures). I mean, he had only been in the US for like 18 hours.

We didn't take a picture but we went to Moes for lunch and then we went to the Christian book store (where I was asked if I was baby sitting Abel).

Good day of firsts!

So moving on to something else I think is just stinkin' CUTE!

When the Lord led us to adopt from Ethiopia, we went out and got baby dolls for the girls. Of course we got us some beautiful brown babies. Well, Addie went and got the doll and put it right next to Abel. Kinda freaky how much it looks like him huh?

Of course, Abel is MUCH MUCH CUTER than the doll!

This little girl is pretty crazy about her little brother. I was worried about how she would handle it but she can't get enough of him. It could just be the honey moon stage but I will take it! They are delighting SO MUCH in this precious babe! I loved this picture!

ok... until later! This is like scrap booking for me. Can I get this blogger stuff printed in book form? What an incredible thing if Blogger would do that... right?
