Yesterday a friend came over so I could run to a couple of stores while the girls were napping (they're not to be left with a babysitter yet, but come on, I've got to get a break or I'm going to break). At the very first store, the clerk asked if the girls I was shopping for were my grandkids or nieces. Has this adoption really aged me 30 years? When I told her they were my daughters, she proceeded to go on about these people she knew who were having fertility problems and HAD to go "that route". What??!!! I couldn't get out of that store fast enough and will not return. So much for a fun outing by myself; I'd rather stay home and eat worms.

Eden and Grace
We saw Eden and her mom, Nancy, last week when they were in town. Eden and Grace are only one day apart in age. So cute!

Please Watch!
We take safe water for granted, but it takes so little to give the same to the people in Ethiopia and other countries like it. It hits us close to home; I hope you feel compelled to give in your or someone else's name.

The Girls At Home
We see changes every day in the girls. Kistet's becoming very comfortable expressing all of her frustrations and jealousies as well as her charm, and Grace is stronger and more lively and giggly as ever. They couldn't be more opposites. Because of her strong personality, I think Kistet received all the attention and was allowed free rein for anything in the orphanage; whereas Grace never received much attention because she was so quiet. So Grace is thriving with all this attention in the family, but Kistet is finding out about rules, boundaries, nap times, schedule, sharing, all those fun things that makes a kid want to scream--and boy, does she ever!
