E's 2nd Adoption Day

Two years ago today, we met our Ethiopian-born son for the very first time! We woke him up from his afternoon nap, and he was all smiles the rest of the day. (You can read our posts about that amazing day here and here.)


Today, we celebrated E's Adoption Day with family time! (Tomorrow we'll enjoy homemade Ethiopian food too!) We headed to a wind-swept hill in town to enjoy sledding on newly-fallen snow.


Just two years ago E was an orphan waiting for a family in Ethiopia...and just two years ago we were a family excitedly waiting to meet the new son God so generously blessed us with.

"Children are a heritage from the LORD,
offspring a reward from him.

Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one’s youth.

Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them."
Psalm 127:3-5

We love you forever, E!
