Ok- its 4 am in Addis Ababa - but really thinking of Curtis Samuel right now. Hoping he is all snuggled in his little crib and not missing his buddy Elias too much as he went home to his forever family a few weeks ago. And I pray that he gets some loving tomorrow.
However, I do know - its not really Christmas in Ethiopia, they celebrate the Orthodox days and will have their celebrations in a few weeks. In 2013 I will do a dinner or some celebration on that day as our family is officially Ethiopian now as well.
So I just am missing our little boy today! I know he will be home soon - but its hard. It was fun to envision having him with the big family celebration today with my step sister and her kids. It will be fun to have a baby there next year. And if we are lucky - I may even get a niece or nephew as well? Hum - two babies? that could be fun.
We had fun tonight handing out Timbit's from Tim Horton's to random people working tonight. This is something I helped to start last year at church - and our wonderful Pastor helped us fund the event this year. WE went to 5 places and I wish we had 5 more! Its fun to see the reactions of people as you just leave them a box of donuts and say thanks for working tonight ! Nate really was getting into that spirit and it was fun! Very happy for a great kid and husband.
So all the babble - I'm pretty tired - to my Sami - Love you so much Sami - I can't wait to have you in my arms for years to come.
See you soon!
Love mommy, daddy and Nate

Love the donut idea! Great way to get into the Christmas spirit! I know it is hard to be away from Sami but he will be home to his FOREVER family soon!
