Home at last!

I am totally exhausted, so I'll keep it short, but I wanted to just wish all the families getting ready to travel in the coming week good luck and safe travels!

My goal for tomorrow is to sort out a few of the more than 600 pictures we took to put up here.  Probably half of the 600 are pictures taken by Finn or Gus of their shoes, or extreme close-ups of their noses, or pictures that would have been good if they hadn't had their hand over the flash, so weeding those out will cut down on the number of pictures I subject everyone to.

Anyway, we are so so happy to be back home with our new daughter, even though we had a great time in Ethiopia (the coffee, the wonderful people, the friends we made, the coffee, the great food, and on and on).  Thanks to everyone who was praying or thinking good thoughts for us as we journeyed - it worked!

  2. So glad you all made it back safely!

    Thank you for your comment! I've heard some things about needing transit visas if you go through certain countries--we've decided it would be best for my sanity if we did the direct flight back.

    Your daughter is precious! Can't wait to hear about your trip!

  3. Again, welcome home! We'd like to bring over dinner. Is there any particularly day the week of March 7 we could sign up for? If not, we'll just bring it over one day and you can freeze it. Yeah for your family of 5!
