The six-month mark

Hi all:
It has been great reading your posts—and seeing the twins. 21 pounds. Ethiopian children are just big, I guess. Denbele is 30 pounds! We have another Ethiopian friend here who is 20 months and was brought home as an infant and she is bigger than Denbele.
Denbele loved her first holiday here, had a blast lighting the Hanukkah candles (and crumbling the unlit ones) and enjoyed her Christmas with Grandma and New Year's celebration with friends. Plus, she totally ignored the buffet table to play with her sister and the neighborhood kids, which was huge for her. We had our last post=placement visit and now we begin our re-adoption, which, in New York, is a nightmare process with as much paperwork and headache as the dossier itself. But this is my chore for the next few months. In the mean time, here are some pictures from the holidays. I love this blog. Keep posting, all.
