Second Ever Ethiopian Get-Together

Saturday night was the Second-Ever Springfield Ethiopian Get-Together. Another wonderful night spent with other adoptive families and their amazing kids. Roger and I look soooo forward to these nights. It's an opportunity for us to spend time with people who really "get us." But we also can't wait for the day to attend this party with our very own baby since, after all, that's the main purpose of these get-togethers: for the kids to spend time with other kids whose family make-up is just like theirs.

Diesel's mom Katy was kind enough to take lots and lots of pictures of all the fun being had Friday night, and below is a picture she took of me and Isaac. In it he is holding on to my "Expecting from Africa" necklace. Isaac is the first Ethiopian baby I held back in October when he was five months old but was the size and weight of a newborn. Since then he has grown so much and is doing so great!
