1 Year Ago





Last May 23 at about 1:30 in the afternoon we got the call and saw these beautiful faces for the first time. When I think back to that day and the year since it is almost overwhelming. I remember going almost crazy waiting to go get our girls.
I wish I could write the words I feel in my heart. I think it a mix of Joy of what these two beautiful girls have brought into our family, sadness for what they have losted, a bit of a broken heart for the family in Ethiopia whose daughters are on the otherside of the world, grateful for all the wonderful people I have meet through this process, most of all humbled with the honor of those little voices call me Mommy and Bob Daddy! I love you girlies!!

THE UGLY
Because of our sick pooch we missed a weekend in Chicago with Ethiopian travel group. I hope you guys all had a wonderful time!

Daddy's Girlies




I made my bed myself!


Sometimes it is the littlest things are what melts your heart as a parent. Birutkan came into my room this morning and said "I made my all by myself!" She did a pretty good job as you can see!

Sick Boys


This was the scene at our house this weekend! I hope the girlies don't get it!
