Update for Thursday

 Breakfast time

I loved waking up to this smile

 

 Evidentally Andy got up to get food cause Scott posted

"Hey, where's Daddy going?"

 Thursday playtime

 The kids think she looks possessed with her eyes all shiny here. LOL (At least she's a happy possessed!)

 Last "night-night" in Ethiopia

I wonder who was ready to give it up first? ;0)

Andy called right at noon today so the kids were able to talk to & see Ellie-Joy.  They were all so excited.  They all started talking to her at once & it was hard to make them be quiet so we could hear her ooh & aah.  She was just a babbling away - it was precious.  This was the first time they were able to see her awake.  I am so thankful they got that.  I think they've been kind of jealous that I've been able to talk during the night while they had to sleep.

She had a great day according to Andy.  She sounds like she's a real trooper when they go out shopping.  She can hang with the best of them - which is a good thing since she's #5.  When you are the low man on the totem pole you've just got to learn how to run with the flow of all the bigger kids. ;0)  Hopefully we'll get to talk to them a couple more times before they get on that first LONG plane ride that will get them so much closer to home.
