Back Home !!!

Grandmom "Nana" Brown was so glad to see the boys! We ended up coming home a few days earlier than planned. It was almost 21 hours on a plane and in airports to make it home. It went pretty good overall. We were grateful that the plane ride started in Ethiopia at 10:30 at night. We arrived at Washington DC to have breakfast with Tim's dad who happened to be in DC for the weekend.

Settling In to Family Life

We stayed at the Addis Kidan Baptist Guest House in Addis Ababa. It was a very nice house for Ethiopian Standards and we had two private bedrooms and a bathroom. Bath time was quite a hit as you can see and there were toys and things to do to keep the boys quite busy. The staff at the house did a great job of letting us settle in, giving us food that all of us could eat, translating amharic and helping out.

Finally There!!!

This is us at Faith Children's Home in Addis Ababa. We were only there about 3 minutes at this point but thank goodness that Samuel likes to play ball. It made a good connection point.
