We made it home! We wanted to post a message on Thursday before we left Ethiopia but we couldn't because the power at our guest house was out for several hours and our computer was out of battery. Sorry! We had a great trip home. Turns out our Yohanna Dinknesh likes to sleep on airplanes. She was asleep before we even took off from Addis Ababa and slept for 5 hours. She loved playing in the Amsterdam airport (they have lots of stuff for kids). She slept again for 4.5 hours on the trip from Amsterdam to Chicago. God provided 4 seats for us to spread out on during that leg of the trip.
She doesn't like anything that straps her down, like car seats and seat belts. They don't have car seats in Ethiopia! So, the trip home from Chicago was interesting. We did manage to have her tolerate the highchair this morning with some food bribery. All 3 of us fell asleep on the living room floor at 5:30 PM last night! Yohanna Dinknesh slept until 5:30 AM. Praise God. Hopefully the time zone transition will continue to go well.
God's provision is amazing through our family and friends. It is wonderful to come home to a clean home, cut grass, boxes of diapers, new baby clothes, stocked refrigerator, meals in the freezer, and a gigantic welcome home sign! You are all amazing!Well, we are going to make some Ethiopian coffee now! Yum!
Looking forward to visiting with many of you soon.
