We are in Ethiopia and having a great time! The flight was very long, trip was about 30 hours, Annie slept pretty good, maybe 6-7 hours, I got a combined 1. We are currently in a golf club eating pizza, only place with internet. It is 7 pm here and we are 9 hours ahead. We got to meet Bereket (Vivi) this morning and then again spent time with her this afternoon, both times for about 2 hours. She is absolutely wonderful, very pretty, and very sweet. She is shy and right now is trying to soak it all in. During our second meeting she started warming up a bit and we got to see a few smiles. We will get to spend more time with her tomorrow afternoon. I think tomorrow we will go to the Ethiopian Museum in the morning. Sunday we travel to Durame to meet the birth mother.
All the kids at the Care Center were awesome, we are ready to take several home. Fortunately most all of the kids have homes and ready to travel soon.
Isaac and McCord we love you very much and miss you, can't wait for you to meet your sister, she is wonderful!
Hopefully we will be able to get on soon. We will also try to post pictures.
Mike and Annie
Sooo glad you guys made it safely, and are having a wonderful time. I know you're not surprised, but I'm sitting here in my office with tears as I'm reading your posts and looking at the pics. We will be so glad to have Vivi and you guys home.
