We haven't updated in a while, because there hasn't been much to update everyone about. We shopped most of the day Saturday, so that wasn't overly thrilling. At least not for me.
Yesterday, (Sunday) we went to church at the International Evangelical Church. It is an English speaking congregation, and we enjoyed getting to worship with the people of Ethiopia. In the evening, we went to Dreamland. It is a restaurant/resort that overlooks a crater lake about an hour south of the city. As you can see from the pictures, it was beautiful.
We went back to the foster care center today and spent some time with the babies. When we went into Addis' old house, they took him away to the upstairs baby room. When we made it up there, the caregivers had made him some food and he was eating away. They then gave him formula with a little cup. Who knew an 8 month old could use a cup? They put him back in his bed so that we could take a picture, and he freaked out. I think he thought we were going to leave him there.
Tomorrow is our last day in the country, and we are more than ready to go home. It has been a great visit, but it is too long to be away from the other three kids. Our flight leaves at 10:15 tomorrow night. Hopefully, Addis will sleep the whole way home.
Since we have to check out by noon tomorrow, this will probably be our last post from Ethiopia. Thank you all for your prayers and support throughout this process. God has blessed us richly, and Yeabsera has more than lived up to his name, which means "the work of God the Father." NWA, we will see you soon!

vzfcfwHey guys!
Just checking to make sure you all made it home safely. You are probably having the same adjustment issues we are, and have NO TIME for computers!
Mentamer has been really ill, but was not admitted to the hospital yesterday as we feared, so that's a good sign. I will update our LAME blog one day soon!
I will always be grateful for your friendship on our journey, and think of you very lovingly!
Kisses,
