Ethiopia Day 1 Part 1

This is the first time we saw Adeline. She was on a field trip at an amusement park. It was snack time with juice and cookies.

Finally... that's my mommy!

We are going to get Cameryn. Addy can't wait to see her sister.

This is our photographer and video crew. Aren't they beautiful! We are just about to the van.

It's amazing how much Addy loves all of the physical attention. Hugs and kisses...

Ethiopia Day 1 Part 2

I found Mom's zipper. That is pretty fun.

First time holding Daddy's hand.

Miss personality. This is a classic Addy face. She's trying to hold back a smile!

Don't smile, don't do it!

Enchanted Addy!

Ethiopia Day 1 Part 4

Addy smiling down at Cameryn. She had missed her sister so much!

I needed to take a good look at my baby! Wow! What a moment! I want to freeze this in time!

Addy is chummy with Daddy-o!

Cameryn can't wait to meet her brothers and sisters back home!

The girls are a miracle!

This has been the most amazing day. Our girls are so beautiful and loving. We are just so blessed.
We are having terrible troubles regarding our camera files. The megapixels are too huges. We are doing research now and hope to post pictures tomorrow. Sorry to disappoint. The girls are a miracle. We are all safe and having a wonderful time.

Testing for the trip, can we do it?

We are doing a "test" to see if our camera is uploading properly to the laptop. We want to make sure all of the kinks are worked out ahead of time. It will be so fun to post our photos from Ethiopia, four short days away. Spider man and I have some work to do. It's a good thing he is so happy! xoxoxoxoxo

A song by Chase.....

Yesterday, Chase was singing in the other room, it just so happens the girls playroom. He was holding some of their dolls and checking out the bottles and such. I could hear him singing from the other room. I quietly stepped closer to see if I could hear the words better. It went something like this"mmmm, there was a baby named Adeline and she has a sister named Cameryn, mmmmm (more humming) and then he just kept some melody going with the same words over and over again. It seriously was the sweetest thing I had ever heard. After he came down for breakfast he said to me "Mom, do you know why we are so lucky?" I said, no, tell me why.....he said" because we are adopting" and then he stood up and came over and gave me the biggest hug. He is truly a dear child. WOW, that was a moment I never want to forget. xoxo
