Zach's 8th Birthday!

Here are a few snapshots of Zach's birthday party!

First there was the Birthday Cake!

Then the presents!

After the presents, all the boys got jump rope!

New Names

We finally decided on new names. This has been quite the task for naming two children. Yikes.

Rewina Lemlem is now Levi Rewina. Mulat Addisu is now Isaac Mulat. They like the names and we try to remember to call them by the names. Frankly we loved thier Ethiopian names but they prefer English names now as so many people had a difficult time pronouncing it.

A Shower for Rewina and Mulat

Our church held a shower for Rewina and Mulat today.  It was one of the most touching gifts we have received as adopted parents in our many years.  We are overwhelmed with the generosity of the people in our church.  God Bless you All.

The First Month

Rewina and Mulat have been part of our family for about one month now.  Almost every day is a new first time for Rewina and Mulat.  Here are a few pictures of the past several weeks.
