Some Catchin' Up To Do!
It's been a while since I posted, and so much has happened that I'm not sure how to recap it all. Since pictures are worth a thousand words, I'm going to start with that.
The trip to Ethiopia was incredible. Articulating the importance and emotional impact of that trip is nearly impossible. The whole trip was a whirlwind of activity, and the time with the kids was priceless. Mary and Doug were my saviors on many occasions, and Lukas and Karis were awesome with my two kids.
The pictures do tell the story. . . .
Meeting Zoey (and Ben. . .you can barely see his hand on my arm) on June 15, 2009, at the transition house in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Wondering if you could email me about the guest house you stayed in...did you also eat there?
Our last adoption we didn't have a choice in hotels, our agency picked on which was walking distance to their orphanage. We ate our meals there, as we were told to be careful with where and what we ate outside of the hotel.
