Saturday

Today we were blessed with the chance to meet some other transracial adoptive families.  Several were even involved with Ethiopian adoptions.  We drove about an hour to hang out and let the kids play.  We don't mind driving, and will definitely try to join the group again.  But we do hope to meet some other families in our town, as well.

Isaac was a charmer today.  He did a great job just hanging out and smiling.  He's becoming a lot more vocal, and just chatters on...especially when his siblings aren't around (I can't blame him.  It's hard to get a word in when they are near ;-))  When he was in the play area, he yelled out at the kids to come pay attention to him.  He has had a rough couple of evenings lately as his teeth have been coming in.  He's been using the pacifier a bit more than I would prefer, but it's better than some of the other things he could be gnawing on. ;-)

Josiah has been doing a lot of cheesing lately.  Heehee.  I'm trying to be better about taking candid shots instead of always posed pics.  When we told Josiah that one of the girls was from Ethiopia like him.  He seemed surprised.  Everytime we mention Ethiopia, he says, "Like Me!"  I am excited that he is starting to grasp more about his background.

Elizabeth is quite the poser for pictures.  She's missed having school the past couple of weeks, and is excited to go back.  She is waiting to lose her top middle two teeth, and is constantly wiggling them.
