A Visit from Belachew!
















Today we enjoyed a visit from Belachew and his sweet parents, who were travelling through town on their way home after Thanksgiving.
Belachew and SJ were in the CHSFS Care Center at the same time, we first met Belachew in Ethiopia when we picked up our girl. Cindy and Paul travelled to Belachew about a month after we were there. I called Belachew the "Big Man on Campus" as he strutted around the Care Center confidently and made sure the other kids ate their lunch and followed directions. It is beautiful to see him again now with his loving parents, Cindy and Paul.
The kids played together well and shared muffins and orange slices. We parents shared about our adoption experiences and future plans. We are so thankful for their visit and hope to see them again soon.

I'm so happy that your families got to spend a little bit of time together and Belachew and SJ got a chance to see each other again. Great pictures of the kids! Happy Thanksgiving a little late.

Is that the red platter that you {gasp!} bought at the Goodwill? :)

Yes, that is a Goodwill purchase. Where else would one purchase such things?
