Skinny Minny
He also got three shots today and was very brave - although he did give me that, "MOM, why are you letting them do this to me?" look that I hate. So sad.In other news, we were able to see our Ethiopia in-country rep this week! Tsegay was visiting from Ethiopia - his first time to the US - and we went to a reception that CHI had for him. It was a little overwhelming to see Tsegay lift Micah in the air - lots of emotions. After that moment, however, Micah kept us too busy to think - he was a wild man that night. He ran, and played, and banged, and ran, and played. He got a lot of the, "He's pretty busy, huh?" comments that night. :)
Micah & Tsegay
Micah & TsegayWe haven't been doing too much else exciting. Tomorrow is the second meeting of our Playgroup with a Purpose. I'm hoping for a bigger turnout this month - we're collecting for a local home for children and have plans for next month already. I'm still very excited about this and hope it catches on here soon.
As for Baby #2 - we are just waiting on one document to get in for our homestudy to be complete. I'm hoping that gets here soon so we can send in everything to get our golden ticket (the 171-H). Hopefully that final doc will get to CHI soon!
And, since I don't think I've ever posted these (although I promised to do so) here are some cute pictures of Micah from BU 08!

I just love this picture. So sweet.

I just love this picture. So sweet.* Update: We just got word today that the homestudy is READY! So, I will be off to pick it up Monday morning and will be sending it to CIS right after that! :) It's so surreal that I feel weird getting excited - I know it will be a while before anything happens. But, Tsegay did tell me that it won't be as long as I think. But what does he know - he's only the person who gives out referrals. :) Really though, I'm still planning on being patient until 2.2010 (yah - right).
That picture is so great of Kevin with Micah!! I love Micah's skinny bones:-) He reminds me of my nephew (who was always skinny minny and still is)!! I am sure seeing your in country rep was very emotional, I know it would be for me...that is so great that you were able to though!!
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love this pic of Micah and kevin!! "Dad, be quite, you are embarrassing me" Hee Hee!
ReplyDeleteOh, I’m so jealous that you guys got to see Tsegay! We live on the West Coast and couldn’t come out to see him.
ReplyDeletei totally love the surf board pic
ReplyDeleteMalak is a skinny minny too- well, he is on his way. he used to hage this ginormous belly but now he is just getting thinner and thinner. Twins. They are twins. :)
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of your visit with Tsegay! Did Almaz and their boys come with him on this trip? I bet he remembered and recognized all the kiddos at the meet and greet. So wish we could have been there.
ReplyDeleteTall and skinny? Loves the beach? Maybe a future Michael Phelps? :)
I loved seeing Tsegey again. Great pictures... wish I could have gone, but we just live too darn far away - SD is really in the middle of nowhere - so, you are adopting again? Hooray!
ReplyDeleteI love the pics and update!! Our Ethiopia director will be in town next week!!! I can't wait to see her. Grace was only 9 lbs. and 4 months when she left ET!! It will be such a reunion!!!! Thanks for the updates. I love following along on your journey with VERY cute Micah!!
ReplyDeleteYeah so excited about your update!!! I put a little story bout you guys on my blog, and my fav pic of micah!
ReplyDeleteMicah IS a lean boy! So cute too!
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not long before you get your referral. How fun would it be to know who your new baby is by Christmas??
Yeah! That's exciting that your homestudy is already done! (already to me;) I love love the surfing pictures of Micah. Such a little beach boy!
ReplyDeleteHe is tall and skinny....there is nothing wrong with that. It sounds like baby #2 is on her way. How do you get ready for 2 kids, please let me know.
ReplyDeletehow exciting that your homestudy is ready. You are well on your way to baby #2. So cool.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how close you are! Almost CIS time? THAT WAS FAST!!! Heck- maybe we'll even be traveling together!?
ReplyDeleteThe pictures of Micah are awesome (as always!)!
Micah is adorable, his little bitty bones. Tsegay looks like he was enjoying his first trip to the U.S.
ReplyDeleteThat surfer picture is the cutest!!! Best wishes on your second adoption. What a blessing!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! Love the surfer boy Micah one especially.
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, you guys are really flying through this whole second adoption process. I'm very impressed and awestruck by your awesomeness on this and you've got to give me pointers when the Stephen's family turn finally comes!
Love that little surfer dude!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your homestudy! This is so exciting! I'm prepared to stalk your blog until the BIG referral day!!!!!
