Ethiopia Trip Pictures - Part 1


Double Decker Air Bus - From JFK to Dubai
From Dubai to Addis Ababa we were bumped up to Business Class
Now we know what we are missing.....
This is Trisha, our cousin, who helped me bring our daughter home.
She was such a blessing to me on this trip!


This is me trying to figure out how to work my chair massager.  That's
right, friends, a chair, that totally lays back, and can massage the
whole body.  I took advantage of this!

Yes, in Business Class you get to eat off of real china and use real utensils.
The meals are delicious, and they even come around offering warm muffins and
croissants. 

On the way to check into the Guest Home before we go to get Havyn.
Back in Ethiopia!

On the way to my Havyn!

I don't know if Havyn remembered me, but she warmed up very quickly.
They dressed her in a Christmas outfit, with cute little
Santa shoes.  One thing is for sure, she is a sweet gift from
God!

Is there a more precious face?

This Nanny cried when we were ready to leave
with Havyn.  She had obviously grown attached to her.
I hope to be able to send this picture to her.

Oh the sweet feeling of walking to the van
with my daughter, the one I had cried for, prayed for,
and longed to reunite with. 

Leaving the transition home with her Mommy!

First bottle.


MORE PICTURES TO COME SOON.....
