And We are Back!!

What a amazing week we had in Addis! We got to meet our son! He is so precious! We got to Addis around 1 in the morning on Tuesday, all of our flights went well and all the bags made it! We were able to pack 3 bags FULL of donations for the foster home! That is 150 lbs of donations!! Woot Woot! Thank you to everyone who went out of your way to get us donation to take!! It means a lot!

So Tuesday we got checked into the Guest House and than went straight to the Foster Center!! We were so excited to get to meet Axum!   Their were two other families that were staying at the guest  with us, they both had sweet new daughters they were getting to know! Another family stayed at the Hilton and we enjoyed getting to know them also! It was fun to listen to how God is working through all of them!

So once we arrived at the foster care center we waited for them to bring him to us,   We were so excited and our emotions were all over the place! I could not believe this was happening! And THEN THERE HE WAS!!! HALLELUJAH !!!! One of his very special care takers handed him to me! He was very shy and held on very tight to me. I WAS HOLDING OUR SON! He was so little and quiet! He had no idea who the heck we were and why the heck we were smothering him with kisses and hugs! We tried to play a little with him but I'm pretty sure we were scaring him! He would just hang on to us and that was fine with me! We were able to visit for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. It was never enough time! He was always very curious of everything that was going on around us. He has the most amazing smile it lights up the room! His eyes are so beautiful and big!He sucks on his lower lip. He is perfect and we are in love with him now more than ever! I couldn't stop thinking about how big of a miracle he is and how big of a miracle it was for us to be meeting him ! God has pushed us and we are so thankful! This is only a God sized dream!!

The one word I have to describe it is, Eucharisteo which means grace joy and thanksgiving always precedes the miracle!

This was only the first day!!!! God is Good! Thank you all for the Love and support!
