6 months home!!!

It seems like yesterday we were getting off the plane here in NoDak!! Wow, what a 6 months it has been!! The boys continue to do so well...Tesfa is probably the loudest jabber-walkie you'd ever meet...serious, just ask the random people at Target!! And well, Ageze has possibly the best hearing this side of the world...or I should say...he could hear everything a world away...no joke!! His ears are always ON!! And I guess, who can blame him...I'm sure he was always on the look-out & always listening! They are very sweet boys & we love them to pieces!! This last 6 months has also been a huge learning experience for each & every one of us...we have been taught extreme patience, understanding, compassion(which we already had...but it has grown!!) sharing one another...etc...and we are still learning!!! Today Tesfa said..."Tesfa like Grant, Kate, Ageze, America, Nala(our dog)mom, Dad...& so on!!" IT's pretty cute when he says..."America loves Tesfa!!" Grant & Kate always get a kick out of that...and his latest..."Tesfa is beautiful!" Yes, sweet boy..you are beautiful!! Grant usually then says.."Mom, that's not a good thing to say, people shouldn't say they are beautiful!!" So glad Tesfa is feeling confident, and so proud that my son Grant recognizes that we don't need to toot our own horn!!! Ha!! I'll leave you with a few pics from 6 months ago...i know, i know...you are all like..."again???".... xo kristen
