Just wanted to tell you how much we are enjoying our time with Misikir and Hawi. They are WONDERFUL. We have been here almost a week, and Hawi has really begun to come out of her shell and joke around with us. She has a little sassy streak that I really enjoy. Misikir is one of our favorite kids. I have been spending most of my time with the older boys, and he is just wonderful. He has been so helpful with translating, he has taught me a ton of Amharic, he is just so loving and affectionate and sweet--and very, very funny. Yesterday he and Ryan were playing soccer with a couple of the younger kids and Ryan loved the way he played with the smaller kids, letting them get some good shots in, taking it a little easy on them. They have beautiful spirits, Michelle. Misikir and Hawi are called "Wisconsin" at Sele Enat. S. and B. are "California"; etc. The map [Aaron bought a map for H & M when we were in Ethiopia] comes out ALL THE TIME so they can show us who is going where. Misikir has asked a couple of times when you will be coming and I have said very soon. He is very excited! Just wanted to let you know they are doing well and looking forward to seeing you. Oh, and we got to see the photo album several times! That's their prized possession!
C'mon paperwork! We've got 2 kids in Ethiopia waiting for their family.
