California Adventure (And Disney Too)

The 4 Mousketeers!

Annalise & Jonah


"It's a Small World"

Right now I am at my good friend Jen's house in California. We have had quite an eventful past few days together with her two toddlers, Jonah and Annalise. This has included two 8-9 hour car trips, experiencing L.A. traffic to its fullest, doing Disneyland on a holiday weekend and making meals out of goldfish crackers and fruit snacks. But it has been great! Jen has been able to give me some valuable advice on baby needs (from cribs to diaper bags) all the while modeling some pretty remarkable mothering techniques. Who but a mother can operate a portable DVD player and cut up string cheese to safe size pieces at the same time she is driving through the foothills?

I also want to share a link to some pictures of new families that have been formed through CHSFS Ethiopian Adoption Program. You can see many of these smiling faces at: http://www.childrenshomeadopt.org/Family_Photo_Album6.html
