A year in review -
While I'm sorting through pictures and getting ready for our annual report to go over to Ethiopia, I know that next years reports will be a little different.  For one thing, there will be at least one other person in the pictures, and for another reason, I'll be thinking about his annual report and our obligation to the international country - if 3 families, total, miss their reports in a lifetime, it's been threatened that the whole country will / could / might close down to any and all future international adoptions..... I don't want to mess anything up like that..... I'll over cook a meatloaf, but miss an annual report - one that has to be in country 6 weeks early - no way! Not me! Please.....

Enjoy a few of my favorites
