We're Home!


We got home yesterday and slept most of the afternoon/night after an exhausting 24 hours of travel. The boys did amazingly well on the trip and we are all feeling great today and happy to be home. Ethiopia was wonderful and extremely hard all at the same time. There is so much to say about the trip but for now I can only say one thing; twin toddlers! I promise to say more once I can manage to stay awake during nap time. For now, suffice it to say that they are everything we dreamed of and more...

I've already read these and already posted and yet here I am again. It's the twin thing...I can't get enough. This is an amazing photo. a framer for every room and to be used as the first christmas card. Oh..the firsts entry...made. me. melt. Perfect in every way. I love that they were already napping with their little stuffed animals... KILLS me. I know it will be hard but I hope you are able to keep blogging so I can follow along and watch the magic. xoxo-kat
