Another Update from ET!




We just walked down to the office to send you guys an update and HOPEFULLY some pics. Last night was our first night together as a family, and it went pretty well. Fekadu is all boy, so full of energy, so it was hard to get him to stop playing soccer in the living room and get ready for bed. He seems very attached to Adam and I, and it's so amazing. Adam was the one to actually get him to sleep. I can't wait for you guys to meet him! Oh, and he ate about 5 scrambled eggs for breakfast. The kid eats like a trucker. :)
Now for the bad news...Our flight from Rome to Atlanta turned out to be unusable, the same thing as with Amsterdam. We were told as long as we did not leave the airport we were fine, apparently, we cant even leave the plane. So, we were taken to Ethiopian Airlines yesterday and booked a flight, but we can't come home now until Saturday night....Don't worry, with the time difference it will only be a few hours later we arrive. We will land in DC at 810 am, and leave for ATL at 12 noon. So I think we will land around 1. Please make sure everyone who was planning on coming knows about this, I would feel awful if someone came the wrong day. I hope you can still make it. We will go through customs in DC, so we should be able to meet you right after we land.
I will try to some back tomorrow. Yesterday was shopping day and we got so much cool stuff. Fekadu is in the conference room laughing at Daddy, so I better go see what is so funny! Love from ethiopia!!!

PS- Beware, this boys smile will MELT you!!!

He is so perfect, and sounds like quite the boy! I hope your flights work out well this way, and that you get home easily. Congratulations again!

Laura-I had the same question! The email is a little hard to understand! I talked to Heather's mom though and she looked up the flight online. They will be arriving in Atlanta around 1pm on SUNDAY. I'm not sure how long it will take them to get through customs and such but there will be a group of us waiting there at 1pm on Sunday. If you want to email me we can exchange numbers so we can meet up at the airport?

See you this weekend!
