Happy Birthday J




Yesterday, was your birthday and you spent it on a bus going to watch the inauguration.  You have become part of our family.  Your mom is one of my great friends.  Her mom is an inspiration in her own right. J and Eliza share so many qualities that I sometimes feel like they are twins separated at birth.  J is quiet and nurturing.  She loves animals and orphans.  She has a strong sense of right/wrong and responsibility.  I love those moments when her laughter bubbles over that quiet demeanor.  She fits into our family so easily.  This is a child that I will know the rest of my life.  I am going to her wedding and baptisms even if I have to crash them :)

What a sweet post!
Thanks for your comment on my blog. The girls absolutely love school. They are coming along with their english. It may take a little longer since they still communicate with each other in amharic.
I'll try to post more on how they are adapting!
