Continued Love from Ethiopia

Yesterday we were lucky enough to have Peg (from CHSFS) and Tsewaye stop at our house. They were in the area visiting another family that recently adopted a child from Ethiopia and agreed to stop by to visit with us and Mitiku.

Everything is going great with our transition, but we wanted to have someone sit down with Mitiku and explain to him that once summer is over he will start going to school (the same school that his big brother will go to). We wanted to make sure he understood that Kim would drop him off in the morning and meet him and TJ at home when they get off the bus in the afternoon.

Mitiku really enjoyed the visit and talked with Tsewaye for over an hour about his friends, nannies, school, America, Ethiopia and many other things. He was very proud to show her his new room and loved that she brought him a large bag of Kolo to snack on.

This visit again showed us how much everyone involved with the Ethiopian adoption program love these children. It was so nice of them to stop and ease our fears about school. After our visit Mitiku understands he will go to school in the fall and he is very excited to start going to school with his older brother. However Kim and I will be sad to see the summer end, the time that we have been able to spend at home will all of our children has been amazing and it will be hard to see it end.
