All things China . . . except the Ethiopian things!

We are China crazy in our household right now!  Dreaming of our sweet little new family member in China, planning luggage/travel items for China, celebrating with food from China, scrambling to learn a minuscule amount of the words spoken in China, counting down the days until we go to China, etc. etc.   We eat, breath, sleep China . . . and it is awesome!

But we have not left Ethiopia behind. 

Little Miss and I recently celebrated our Family day - the 4th anniversary of that memorable day in Ethiopia that marked the beginning for us together.  That day will always be one of the very most special days of my life!  I am so blessed to be the mama of this amazing girl!

We attended Ethiopian Culture Camp again this summer, enjoying old friends, new friends, and a rich and wonderful cultural/people.  The highlight for Little Miss was probably dancing for hours to Ethiopian music, in her Ethiopian dress, with her Ethiopian friends and her idols (the Ethiopian teenagers).  The highlight for me was seeing my little girl getting what only other Ethiopians can give her, and beaming with delight all the while.  Ahh! 


 
How lucky I am that these two distant worlds are colliding to form our one perfect family!
