Addis

So far everything in Addis has been going amazingly well...after a unpleasant airport stay/flight from Rome, Ar and I got in. After a few hours sleep at Ritmo House we went to pick up the girls at Kidnet (KM) their orphanage. Hamda, the younger one started off everything by jumping it my arms, grabbing my neck and repeating Mommy over and over again. Shukur has been a little more quite, but they are both wonderful. They seem to be perfectly healthy and couldn't be better behaved. Their are no words for how amazing our first day together has been. They only speak a bit of English, but we spend a lot of time laughing. They are starting to warm up and chat and play around us. I can't wait to post pictures! We are really enjoying Addis as well - it is a bit awkard constantly being followed by people who want/need things. I think it bothers the girls a great deal when people come to our car to beg. I have many more stories to tell that will just have to post later.
