Together at Last!
Dear friends,
We had a wonderful day today picking up Tarike at the Thomas Center in Addis Ababe, Ethiopia. She was definitely teary eyed saying goodbye to her friends and nannies. But she has done will the rest of the day. We arrived in Addis around 6:15 am this morning (Wednesday), made our way to the hotel, took a nap, picked up Tarike at 2:00 pm and we've been together at the hotel since then. We enjoyed walking around the pool, playing on the playground, having an ice cream cone, and then watching video, TV, games, dinner in our room. Trying to keep it pretty simple and busy. Please keep praying. We are enjoying Tarike so much. We are also missing Bethlehem and the rest of the family back in the USA. We love you!
