We had a very easy trip over. Genet was the best traveler. She walked through the plane and found many friends and one little girl came and sat with us. Genet, kim and i made it to Addis just fine but none of our luggage did so Grammie is washing clothes in the shower in the morning and drying them on the balcony. I may not be able to send pictures until we get our luggage. We played with Simensh in the afternoon and Genet was very happy with her little sister. Simenesh has the best smile and laughed when she was playing with Genet. We woke to the call to prayer this morning and Kim is traveling today to visit Simenesh's birth mother. It will be a long day for kim but Gennie and I will be at the pool! I have limited time on the internet with Genet at my side waiting for pool time but we will try to check in every day! Love from Ethiopia!

  4. Nice going Grandma! Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. It must have been amazing to watch your grandchildren playing together. Hearing the morning prayers in Addis is so calming. We can't wait to see you guys when you get back to Minneapolis.
