Update from Ethiopia

Crazy busy here getting ready, but just wanted to pop on and say that we received an update today from our program director, Sharon, who is in Ethiopia (she arrived on Tuesday). She says that Micah Yabsira is, and I quote, "soooo cute" ;) and that he is a really good baby - not fussy at all. (Hopefully that stays the same when we get there :) And she said that the nannies are always holding him and he barely cries. CUTIE!! I can't wait to get there and hold him and kiss him!!!

Sharon also mentioned that the power goes out frequently in the area of Addis Ababa that the House of Hope is in. We're hoping to be able to post from Addis, but we may have to hit up the internet cafes....

more later!
