Sorry things are so quiet here right now. I am up to my ears in children these days, but wanted to remind you that I am sharing the story of our journey to our new girls over at my Ethiopia Adoption Blog! God is gracious….

    The post on your other blog had me crying, I’m sooooo glad you guys are together now!

    And I agree, now that I see a picture of them with you, they’re smaller than I expected. Your older daughter does exude maturity, and I easily forget that she’s not older than 11.

    Then again, my kids are three and under, so my frame of reference is off. Anyone over five is huge!

    Ok I’m back from the Ethiopia Adoption blog, where I have to login to leave comments so I figured I’d just leave one here. Tell your 2 y/o I agree that the muzzein who murders sleep is “mean!” I can relate to the toilet description ;) And I’m sitting here wiping away tears of joy for you all. Congrats again!

    I can’t wait to go read your story. My favorite way to describe the feeling you’re having is, “Dripping with kids.” On an ice-cream cone the drips are the best part.

    Congratulations!
