We weren't sure if we were going to decorate this year as we anxiously anticipate the day we find out we are to travel to Ethiopia. However, those days have yet to come and we would hate for the little man to have missed out on some Christmas celebrations. He was a helpful little elf and got right to work hanging all of the decorations on the right side of the tree.

Spunky Lady
A week ago tonight we traveled to gather with family. This spunky lady kept me up until two a.m. talking about everything on her mind and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

Making tooth pillows for the babes (and yes, I realize that none of them have lost any teeth yet, but like I said, I am working on being distracted).
