Has It Really Been 2 Months Already?

Wow!  Time flies when you go from having 0 to 3 kids in a matter of days! :)  There is soooo much to say, and this post isn't going to say much, but here are a few pics from the first two months our kids have been home...
 
 
First Time Painting at Home - Messy but Fun!


Hirut doing her homework after school - She has LOTS!


Helen on the slide at the playground - They love to be outside!

 
Binyam at Choo Choo Bob's Train Store - He could stay there for hours!
 
 
At the MN Zoo - They LOVE that place!


Overall, our transition into becoming a family of 5 has been a rollercoaster, but good.  The kids are amazing; our adjustment to parenthood has been more difficult, but it's getting easier and easier every day.  We are sooo appreciative to our family and friends who are supporting us through it.  And I promise that there will be another blog posting before another 2 months is up... :)

YAY! So glad to see some pictures and get a little update. We've been wondering how you're doing. Dave and I just got back from Ethiopia this week ~ we stayed close to Nazret and thought of you often!

Your children look adorable and so happy. You guys are amazing, and I can't even imagine the changes your lives have experienced the last 2 months. Instant parenthood to three children is quite the feat, let alone the language barrier and new environment. Dagim saw Binyam's picture and couldn't stop pointing and saying his name. It was really cute, so be sure and give them all a squeeze from their two buddies in Idaho.
