Returning home from Ethiopia

We are back from a wonderful visit to Ethiopia and are so very happy for the places in this world that we call home (namely Israel, Ethiopia, and Maine). But there really is NO home like the one that has one's very own bed in it at the end of a long, very long, torturously long journey. I feel like Samaya has just released her breath after tensely holding it for a 24 hour trip around the world. She hasn't stopped singing all morning...

My Daddy eTOpia

Taking a walk
I wanna call Daddy
I wanna call Daddy
I wanna call Daddy
I wanna call Daddy
Daddy soon
Daddy soon
Daddy soon
Daddy soon
Daddy sooooooooooon
That's my Daddy

Even though we had to leave Sisay behind so he could attend his sister's wedding, he is very much here with us this beautiful September morning in Maine. Even as the afternoon leans into Addis Ababa and surrounds him and the rest of our family so many thousands of miles away. We love you all so very much.
