It is July 4th and we are hanging out with our dear friends Herb and Danielle along with their boys Miles and Daniel. This is the first that we have seen them since returning from the trip. Last night, we thoroughly enjoyed sharing memories with them. The last couple of months have left little time to even think about our RTW adventure let alone reflect upon what it meant to us as individuals and a family. In fact, the monthly wire transfer to Hagirso for the our Ethiopian children's school, food and shelter has become too routine. It is amazing how life just sucks you back in and in a moment one becomes absorbed in their own daily activities and anxieties. We hope that this weekend with friends acts as a reminder to us about just what is most important in life.
With that said, below are some recent pictures of Endris, Shemelese and Yenu as they continue to progress with their eduction and adapt to life in Awassa. We miss them and remain very proud of all that they have accomplished in the six short months since we left Ethiopia. Wow, six months since we were in Mabret's Village. Fingers crossed that the near future allows us to return and hug these 3 awesome children.
