We have so much to tell you...





We are back, have our precious daughter and had the trip of a lifetime!! We will have to break our trip up into many blog entries because we want to tell you all about it! Every single thing about the entire week was simply amazing! The best of all was getting our sweet Mahelet! Her nannies call her Mahi so that is what we are calling her now. We will break down our first week with her during our blog entries but we don't want to leave you hangin' any more! She is just AMAZING!! She is the cutest little things you've ever seen. She has a new nickname that Daddy gave her...Peanut! And a peanut she is. She is 10 inches shorter than Ella but you would never know it by her spunky attitude. She is adjusting better than we could have dreamed of. The only problem is her sleeping pattern. She did great while we were in Africa but since we've been home she is awake several times a night. That's one reason it is taking me so long to blog...I'm tired! But I am NOT complaining. God has been amazing to us in this journey and we are forever thankful.
A few things about her...
Mahi loves to give kisses. She will just grab your face and pull you close and give you a big kiss with her angel lips.
She has a wonderful big sister who loves her and is so patient with her.
She has pretty hair, gorgeous lips, eyes you can read like a book and a sweet, sweet laugh.
She can count to 10 in Amharic (her native language).
She is all Ehtiopian...everytime she plays with a toy car or train she says "beep, beep!"
