Pictures!

I finally located where Caleb hid all of our Ethiopia photographs on the computer! (Ok, he didn't really hide them. I just had trouble locating them!)

Here we are getting to see and hold and have Denekew for the very first time in person! It is Monday Feb 18 at about 10am we are inside the Hannah's Hope Orphanage Compound.
I got to hold Denekew first!

Caleb was the first to get him to laugh. But we found out soon enough that he laughs and smiles easily and often!

Here he is fast asleep in the tummy carrier!


--------------The building on the left has all the nurseries. The open building on the right is where all the babies sun bathe each day!


--------------Here we are outside the compound gate. These are the other two families that we traveled with to all bring home our children!



Here is Denekew fast asleep in the moses basket that the orphanage let us use while we stayed in Ethiopia. As you can see both the pajama and the basket is a bit small for him! Poor guy!


--------------Here is the crib that was Denekew's bed. Above is the cute painting that was on the wall opposite his crib.


We have so many more pictures and stories to share. For now I hope you enjoyed seeing a glimpse of our first day in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
