We made it safe and sound to Ethiopia. I can't believe I am actually blogging because last night I was just sure that I would not have internet access the entire time. WRONG... it's working.
We GOT ABEL THIS MORNING!
HE IS PRECIOUS. We are in LOVE (have been for a while). He is just a sweet baby. He is smiling and TALKING A TON! He has even giggled. We have enjoyed every minute with him. we even just gave him his first bath!
Last night was got to ET at 10pm... our plane was late. No big deal... the airport was a little crazy but we made it.
This morning we did paper work and went to Hannah's Hope. THAT PLACE IS SIMPLY AMAZING.
Abel was napping when I got there and so I let him rest and went to MAYA (Julie B's baby). OH MY ... IS SHE A SWEET THING. She is as little as all get out. I checked her out fit... it was a NEW BORN! but I think she is in 0 to 3months. EVERYONE talked about how beautiful she was.
THEN MY ABEL BOY WOKE UP. I held him. He slept in my arms. I held him in his sling. He took a passie (YES!)
HE IS SO PRECIOUS! He is handsome !!! MY OH MY is he handsome!!!!!
He is all smiles too!
OK... signing off for now... maybe back later!

I keep trying to put myself in your shoes, but obviously nothing I could come up with even comes close! You have been in our prayers all weekend and this morning when I saw this post, I screamed and the kids all came running! We are rejoicing with you and can't wait to see you! We will continue to pray for your time there! To God's Glory Alone!
