Dinner at Fasika in St. Paul, MN

As Sara mentioned in her last post our families had dinner together at Fasika (if you are ever in St. Paul make sure you stop for some awesome Ethiopian food). We had a great dinner and I was glad that the rest of my family (Kim and TJ) were able to meet Andy, Sara and Tirfe.

It was also fun for Mitiku, he loved seeing Tirfe again (at least I assume he did by all of the big kisses he planted on her cute little cheek). He really enjoyed eating traditional food again, had fun interacting with other Ethiopians and being able to speak Amharic and actually be understood ;-)

After dinner we went across the street to the Addis market to pick up some spices and a few other things. Before we said our goodbyes we were able to get one good picture of the kids (Arlo and Aesa were not able to join us this time). I think Mitiku is actually tired of having his picture taken!

We wish that we lived closer to the rest of you so we could all enjoy nights out like this. I guess we will need to start planning trips to AZ, DC, NY, IL and CA to see the rest of you!

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer - can't wait to continue to read your updates.
