This post is crazy long - I have been horrible about keeping this blog up to date lately. I guess I have been a bit busy with the girls. Things finally feel like they are settling in a little - don't get me wrong - we have a LONG way to go. That being said - the girls are really starting to enjoy one another in between their battles. I have to admit that I'm a bit overwhelmed from time to time throughout the day - when I'm caring for both of them. My time with Makeda (when Simret is at daycare) is AMAZING! She has so much to teach me about herself and about life. I'm so fortunate to have had the opportunity to stay home with her during the summer! We have had lots of adventures together already as a family and look forward to many more. Can you believe that it has already been 5 weeks?
Our sweet friends made this banner for Makeda while we were in Ethiopia (they made a similar one for Simret). We have the best friends in the world!!!
Bath time - Day 1 Laramie
1st bus ride
crazy picture Makeda took of me?
Yup potty (shinti) - must have looked like a good place to go to the bathroom? She was surprised to see someone start a fire in it later.
Makeda's favorite place to Shinti (potty). The girl has some skills - not one drop on her shoes or clothing ever.
the gate going into the side yard (or the "naked room" as Lance likes to call it.
Simret's turn - she doesn't quite get it - Makeda laughed at her as she urinated all over the rock, her underwear, and her shoe. Makeda has some schooling to offer Simret in this area.
Makeda LOVES her bike and brings it in every night - after she cleans it with a wet-wipe and even covers it with a blanket some nights before bed - a girl after my own heart!
the end....

Your girls are beautiful! Looks like they are starting to really settle in as sisters and soon I bet best friends though I'm sure they're a handful at times. (LOVE the Dove wrapper...it's no fun being well behaved anyway!)
