This past week has been pretty busy, but we made it! The 4-H fair, the King's obligations and the play all falling in one week was nuts, but we did it. Abeba was a great sport. We were so proud of her. She had to sit through what seemed like endless hours of judging projects, many trips in and out of the car, and a 2 1/2 hour play three days in row. Abeba was a real trooper! The fair was a success. Eli and Hannah both got champion in one project each and Eli gets to take his weather project to the State Fair once again. Israel had a grand time being King (though he had to juggle his king duties with 5 hours of play practice each day!). He is certainly a girl magnet and is certainly not afraid to talk to any that might come up to chat!
The play was a success though we have 4 pretty tired kids. We don't have much on the calendar for today...just hang out and rest!
Here are pictures from the week....Enjoy!
Thankfully, there is a park at the fairgrounds. This was a great getaway for Abeba!

Israel with his new buddies, the Coughlin Twins....oh do they have fun together! The Coughlin family is a local family we met this summer during the play. They are leaving in few weeks to go to Ethiopia to get their two daughters. Check out their blog "4 Double G Ranch" on our blog roll. Please be praying for their family.

Captain Hook, he played that part pretty well! Abeba was scared of that "bad boy!"

You know, our children are absolutely CRAZY about your children!! ;-)
I'm so glad we've met! You've been such a blessing to us! (Especially on our journey~you've given us great advice!)
Can't wait to see you when we get home!

What fun! :-) Congrats to Prince Israel!
Hi, my name is Michelle and we have also adopted from Ethiopia. We came across your blog a while back through the Whipple's blog. We met them during our adoption training. After we did our daughter's re-adoption, I saw your post on doing it yourself instead of through a lawyer and thought if we ever adopted again we would give it a try. We did adopt again, and brought our son home last month. I was wondering if you could give me any advice on getting started. Thanks so much!
