12 days home...

  So, this post is a bit late, but we have had an extremely hands on week! Gideon Tamirat is a busy little fella and requires lots of love and attention right now. I LOVE adoption, it is wonderful and beautiful...but it does not come without hard seasons, and we are in one of those right now. Please continue to pray for us and for Gideon Tamirat as he builds trust in us as his Mommy and Daddy, and as he continues to adjust to a new time zone.
  It has been so fun amidst the difficult times...we are so smitten with this little man! He is definitely one of those active boys who loves to run and romp around...we are rarely clean and always outside! We have been coated in sunscreen and bug spray in this humid south MS summer! Here are a few fun pictures of what we've been doing to entertain ourselves while we are in our little cocoon.

Sprinkler-ing!


Slip 'n' Slide!






Snoozing...(well, honestly, not much of this) :)

Scootering!

A couple of traumatic trips to the doctor...

Bubbles!

 Learning to make mud-pies :)


Loving trying on clothes!


Being silly with Mommy


 And not taking naps... :)

  So far, T-man loves everything "mechina" (car), pancakes (which he calls farengi-injera), mangos and bananas, Gogurt, riding his bike (which he has almost mastered in 1 week! training wheels, of course), and riding on the lawn mower.
  We are getting ready to hunker down at home for Hurricane/TS Isaac, so we would appreciate your prayers! Love to all!

  5. Okay, might have laughed out loud at the farenji injera! Sintay was crowing with delight at seeing Tamirat's pictures. Praying for all of you as you face the hurricane during the trauma of the early days together.

  9. Beautiful pictures!!! He is adorable and you guys look so happy together. Funny how making mud pies is such a natural part of childhood in the south. Love seeing you enjoying life (and I pray for your patience in the not-so-enjoyable times too - hopefully not too many of those). Blessings!
