Reflections

Our journey has not been typical in most ways - our time at home has gone fast and yet it seems like we have been home a year. Our two newest members have had to be strong and independent - it has served them well.

Temesgen loves school and doing great there. He loves being around the kids and comes home excited about his day.

Tesfanesh is learning so fast and enjoys being home with me for the most part (she doesn’t like naps very well). Her favorite things include going to shirts house (shopko) and to injera’s house (Ethiopian restaurants).

My older kids are adjusting well & I am very proud of them and how well they are doing.

Moments

We have moments…

It is so good to be home - we have moments of joy, hilarity, discovery, grief, pain, anger and everything in between.

I don’t think we can even remember what life was like before these two amazing kids came into our hearts. We are so blessed!

Our plan on coming home was that I would home school Temesgen for the first year home. As he acquired more English he said during a struggle to do school “Mommy, no kids, no school!”. So, this week he started school going longer each day. He loves school - that is so great!

That is about all for now - Emily is home sick today and I am on call.
