We made it home finally! I will post more later, but wanted to get something up for you guys. Ethiopia was amazing. The people are so friendly and we had a great timemeeting fellow adoptive families as well. Here are a few pictures of the first meeting day. Enjoy!
The babies are huge (ok, in comparison to where they began they are giants!) Unfortunately, they are both sick. We are heading to the doctor on Monday to get everything figured out. They ate yogurt today and loved it :)

We get to go!!!
Our paperwork has finally found its way to Ethiopia! This means we do get to go get the kids and have a fantastic Thanksgiving! We are so excited that sleep is really not an option :)
Baby shower this past Saturday was awesome! We got to see so many friends that we hadn't seen in a while and ate great food. Eli and Ruthie have many new toys to play with and some darling outfits as well.
2 days to go - we can barely stand it!

Chubby Cheeks
You won't believe that these are the same kids from the referral photos! Thanks to friends from AA for the pics - they were over this past week. I seriously thought they had sent us the wrong photos! Check out the kids! The one with all the personality is RUTHIE!! Yes, that is her with the puffy cheeks and double chin! Oh, I can't wait to see them less than a week from today!

Baby update time!
We received an update today - medical only though - no pictures. The kids are getting so big and ELi can sit without support! My big boy!! Ruthie on the other hand likes to put her feet in her mouth :)
Ruthie is up to 14.7 lbs. Eli has gained another two pounds as well, moving him up to 17! I can't wait to go see them NEXT WEEK!!!!!! I am repacking and getting rid of the small diapers and tiny clothes that we had originally packed for the big baby clothes and diapers! This is so exciting!
