Mekdes in March

I have yet to download our pictures from this trip to Ethiopia, but here are a few from our court trip back in March.  

 "foofa"= balloon (she seems to use it for bubbles too)

And here's one that's been our screen saver for the past few months, taken by another traveling family.

A few side notes:
We introduced Mekdes to Summit (our dog) last night, he'd had an extended stay at my in-laws because we thought she'd be afraid of him. She isn't! It didn't take long before she was chasing him around the house and trying to ride him.

I did decide to get the rabies vaccine, I talked to the CDC last monday, then the local health department and the consensus was that although the risk of rabies transmission from a scratch is low, it is present (esp. since rabies is known to be carried by the type of monkey that scratched me and because I was feeding the monkey, therefore, we can guess he'd been licking his paws- increasing the risk) So, because I don't want to spend the next few months to a year wondering if my confusion in due to rabies or just being a mother to 3, I (with great encouragement from my mother and Greg) decided to get the series of 5 shots.
