One year anniversary of homecoming

Today was our one year anniversary of the day we came home from Ethiopia with Denekew and introduced him to our other children, Ocean and Jaguar, and our parents and siblings. Last night we celebrated with a home cooked Ethiopian meal. I decorated with our Ethiopian flag and souvenirs, set out our scrapbook (of photos of trip to Ethiopia and our homecoming) as well as Ethiopian folktale books and adoption children's books. We had a wonderful relaxed evening of family and fun.

I can hardly believe it's been a whole year that Dene has been a part of our lives. It seems like yesterday that we picked him up and flew home with him and yet it seems like he's been part of our family forever.
