Another update!

Just got another update from the happy family in Ethiopia!

I think Mike and I are finally adjusting and getting a bit of a routine now. I still get bits of nausea and feeling sick if I climb stairs too fast but I am basically on the mends. I now just have a sore throat. But I'm pretty sure it is from the pollution, as I feel fine.

We are starting to really fall in love with Ethiopia, the people, the coffee, the food, and the list goes on. We had a rough night last night with Moses (he woke up at 3am and decided it was morning) but we're managing! We took it easy today and went swimming at the Hilton. It was strange being around so many foreigners! Mosey was super cute sitting in a lounge chair. Many pictures to come when we are home.

I can't believe we only have four may days left Our time is booked up with visiting the famous fistula hospital in Addis, visiting our sponsor child, going to an Orthodox church service (starts at 6:30am!!!) and a few other last minute shopping trips I'm sure.

I'm going to miss drinking the best coffee in the world every morning.


I'll end with a few more details in point form..... this is easier when you are tired:

-I find myself saying "come to auntie" and then realizing I'm his mom

-Mike and I enjoy saying "Holy Moses"

-Mosey is definitely teething.... fingers constantly in his mouth

-he's spitting up a lot... not sure what to do about that

-he's definitely poo-ing now

-we also call Moses "Mu-say" as it is pronounced in Amharic

-he's definitely not attached to us yet, he'd go with anyone on the street and be just as happy/charming

-driving in Addis feels safer than driving in Abbotsford despite its craziness

-Mike is adjusting super well, probably better than me! But that is to be expected. He's he super relaxed person, I'm the anxious one.

-We got to visit the orphanage where he came from, but the whereabouts of his birth mom is unknown



Good-night!
