6 months ago today we met for the first time!

Where has the time gone. I look back at the pictures of the first day we met in Ethiopia and cannot believe how much A&A have blossomed. 6 months ago we where all scared and unsure. We had just landed in Ethiopia on New Years Eve and after a restless sleep we where anxiously waiting to get to the transition home and meet our 2 newest members. It felt like the time was standing still and even though we where so close they where so far away. The moment we met was a moment I will never forget and I hope you don't either.

The past 6 months have been filled with many ups and downs and we have grown so much as a family. I can't imagine our lives without you and want to thank you for changing our lives forever.

I am so lucky to be blessed with 3 of the most amazing, wonderful and beautiful children. How did I deserved to be so blessed?

Wordless Wednesday

When I grow up I wanna be a.....

big A - doctor of little kids and babies who are sick.
C man - A policeman who is big and strong.
little a - DI-NO-SOWR!

Time to catch up

It has been so long since I last posted. I think with the excitement of Christmas and then loosing Winston I just never back into a grove and took the time to post. I finally feel like we are once again back in routine and think I need to catch up on our life. For me this is a way for me to journal our life and also share what is going on with others we may not be able to keep in touch with all the time. I love the comment side of things but also know that the majority of my family and friends don't leave comments and that is ok too. I am hoping over the next while to be able to keep a more regular posting as well as to write about our Ethiopian trip. I have asked my husband to write about it as he did a great job of keeping a journal while we where there but I am not too sure if that will happen ;)

Life has been crazy busy with soccer, hockey, gymnastics, school, skating, etc. I love spending time with the kids and even though after school is super crazy I love the routine we have and the time we get to spend together. I am glad that even when I go back to work I should be able to work it so that I can be home in time to pick them up from school.

I will end this post with a few pictures from our first Christmas together.

A good video word the viewing.

This video brought back so many emotions. I can't wait for the day when I can return to Ethiopia and learn more about it's beautiful people and culture.
