Look What I Did Tonight…

August 3, 2010

…I tucked in my girls!

Ryan and I decided it was time to bring the girls with me to the Guest House.  So, today Fikirte and Konjit left the Transition Home and will now be with me for the rest of our time in Ethiopia!

AHHHH!!  It is wonderful!

The first thing they did upon entering our room was take off their shoes so they could lay on the bed. 

first things first

 I hadn’t been up to the roof yet, so we took the opportunity to check it out.  It has some beautiful views!

 We sat down to a wonderful meal with wonderful families!  

Chef Dawit making his Lasagna Noodles

Homemade Lasagna for ALL these Families

The girls finished dinner before me, so I gave them our room key.  I found them like this when I came up about 10 minutes later.  They have such a great time!  I cannot wait until these two are united with our entire family!

Snug as a Bug

Once again, my heart is full!  Our paperwork will be submitted to the US Embassy tomorrow.  That will give us a possible Embassy date of August 18th.  Praying that we will be on a plane arriving in the states on August 21st!

    I am so excited to hear that you have them staying with you now. They look so happy in the pictures. I’m praying that the Embassy date & travels all go as planned. If you need us to do anything when Ryan’s traveling, let me know. We’d be happy to keep the kids and/or care for the dog. We can’t wait to meet your daughters!
