GOTCHA DAY!!!!

We made it to Ethiopia!!! After a long 12 hr.45min flight we got in to Addis Ababa this morning at 7:45. It took a bit of time to get thru customs, get our luggage and find our driver. We got to Ethiopia Guest Home around 9:30, put our luggage in our room, changed clothes and ate a quick breakfast. We were both very excited to get to Layla house to pick up Micah.

Walking into Micah's room was amazing!!! He was standing in the crib waiting as if he knew we were coming. :) He immediately started smiling at us and got all excited when we picked him up. We can't believe how much he has grown! Last time we were here he couldn't stand or even sit by himself. Now he is standing up in his crib and and crawling all over the place. He also has six teeth now and two more that are almost through.

It was wonderful being able to pick up our son and know that he was leaving with us this time. No more good-byes!!! He couldn't stop looking out the window on the van trip back to our guest home. We could tell he was trying to take in all the sights at once.

We ate lunch once we got back then headed up to our room. By this point I felt like I couldn't even think straight, I was SO tired. Thank goodness Micah was also ready for a nap! I was able to sleep at least 3 hrs. and felt so much better when I woke up.

Micah loves to hear himself talk! He is so cuddly and loves to be played with. Nothing blesses my heart more than hearing him giggle as his daddy plays with him.

We still haven't gotten confirmation from the embassy, so please keep praying that everything works out!
