I hope everyone had a good Ethiopian Christmas this week. I'm a little late posting these, but luck would have it that Ethiopia's Christmas is after ours so it gave me a little bit of time! K, you don't know it yet, but you made out like a bandit this Christmas! Several people gave us presents for you! You got a blanket, book, clothes, a go fishing game, fire truck, little cars, etc! Everyone is excited and can't wait to have you here!
I have posted pictures below of some of the toys. My sister is into what is best for babies as she has worked in several Montessori schools and has a degree in that area. The fire truck is really neat and the people are made out of wood! The three little cars are magnetic and can all hook together or be used separately. Their eyes move too! The fish bowl is really cool. The pole has Velcro on the end so you stick the pole in and catch your fish! Anyway when kids are small they work on pulling the fish out of the bowl and as they get older they work on numbers and colors! She knew these toys would be good b/c all of the kids in her classes all liked them. I've even had a bit of fun testing them out for K!
My sister also got me an Omni Peace sweatshirt! It's awesome! I have been wearing it non stop b/c the weather has been SO cold!

I love the t-shirt!! Thanks for checking on me - I need to add 23 and no news yet. I thought my anniversary (March 17) was a safe over estimate...now I am finding myself a bit antsy that I may have grossly underestimated - hate to think how the optimists on the list are coping...lol. I am the eternal pessimist!
Peace - I love following your blog!
We're actually 17 down on the list right now - either gender 0-10 months - as a first time mother I would love as young as possible but God may have other plans.
It will work out - I am so happy for you and your referral. Hope your wait to travel is very very short!!
