Five Days & Counting...

OMG - five days until lift off. Nick and I can't believe it's finally here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spent the day packing, making sure we had all the necessary items ie; bottles, blankets, clothes, medicine, diapers etc. We also settled on a new first name for our little guy, which we'll reveal when we get home. We are keeping Dagmawi as his second name. I'm hoping when we visit the orphanage in Bahir Dar we learn where he came by this name. Got a couple new pictures from WACAP. A volunteer at the orphanage knits each child a hat. I love his green cap and hope to keep it.
