1 Month Home..A Few Days Ago

Wow!!!  We have been BUSY!!!  Doctor appointments, Oral surgeon appointment with teeth extractions (Guess how many dentists there are in Ethiopia???...In 2007 there were 48 in the ENTIRE country.  In 2009 the population of Ethiopia was 82,824,732!!!  So that's pretty much like NONE...ZERO.  Thank you dentists who go over to serve these precious people who cannot  get care.  So grateful that my child doesn't have a sore mouth anymore and that they were baby teeth), end of school year hoorahs, and 5 kid schedules.  All good, just busy, and wouldn't want to not be.
  We are all adjusting very well.  Learning in process.  Can't believe how well they are doing.  They are so smart, loving and funny.  They can have their moments too, but that's part of the learning/adjusting.  We really are having fun with them and are SO grateful they are here. If you call you will likely be greeted by a sweet Ethiopian accented voice saying, "Ello, Donasons",
followed by many giggles.  I love it when someone asks Faith her name and she says, "Faith Donason".  Melts my heart!  On the other hand when something has gone awry in her eyes, it does not melt my heart when she proclaims,"No love....(whatever or whoever it is)!", but it does make me laugh..most of the time.  And we will all miss it when she stops referring to everything and everyone she doesn't know the name for as "This one".  Dave will always call her "Faith, This One".
