We had a great trip home (very long) but Mitiku did great. The hardest part was leaving Ethiopia, he became very sad after everyone headed off to board different planes and we had to sit and wait. I found a woman at the coffee shop that spoke English and Amharic, she was able to talk to him and explain that he was still going to America he just had to wait a little while longer.As we landed in New York he says "Americana" it was so cute. Mitiku is adjusting well and we are very busy during the days which has made bedtime a snap. During the day we are either riding bikes, swimming in our pool, playing at the park, going to soccer or just hanging out in the front yard kicking the soccer ball.
Mac and TJ are doing great and they both really enjoy their new brother. They have been very patient and they are always trying to help him learn new words. I look forward to having the next couple of weeks off from work so we can continue to adjust to everything.
Yeah! Your THREE kids are konjo konjo. Yippe for three.

Hello from Virginia. Degefa loved seeing his buddy's picture. In fact, he is yelling "metiku, metiku" so I better end this post and let him see him again. I agree...3 konjo kids.

ReplyDeleteI've been attempting to comment from my mini-mac the last few days and it wouldn't work - now I snatched Ross' laptop! hee-hee...You have such a beautiful family. We love looking through our pics and hearing Yonas say all the boys' names too. Is it too early for a reunion? :)
