What a week we've had! Monday we were able to visit the Addis Ababa Fistula hospital as featured on the documentary A Walk To Beautiful. It was a wonderful and peaceful place. We ate at an Ethiopian restaurant and did some shopping. Tuesday we flew to Lalibella, Greg and I agree it is the most beautiful place we have ever been. Although the flight and drive getting there was a bit harrowing. There are 11 rock hewn churches dug down into volcanic rock and an amazing monastery. Thursday we flew to Aksum where the Ark of the Covenant is held in a small well guarded church. And this morning, Friday, we arrived back in Addis Ababa, were picked up at the airport by our adoption agency and brought to our guest house- the Morning Coffee guest house- and met our amazing hosts. After lunch we were able to go to the transitional house and MEET OUR SON!!!! I may be biased but he just may be the cutest baby boy in the entire world. He just stared at with his big brown eyes, gave us a few smiles and pulled Greg's glasses off for the first of I'm sure many times. He is precious and we are blessed! It was hard leaving him this evening but tomorrow we leave on a 5 hr drive down to Awassa where he is from to take pictures and explore. On Sunday evening we'll be able to pick him up for good!
