Happy to Be Home!

As much as we loved our time in Ethiopia, it is such a blessing to be home! K'Tyo was amazing on that long flight (we got stuck on the runway in Amsterdam for over 3 hours b/c of the ash cloud) & is enjoying getting to know Daddy & his other brothers & sisters.

We spent much of yesterday with doctor visits. The good news is they took off that yucky cast & he did not have to have another one put on b/c he's healing up so well. He just has to wear a brace for playtime. The bad news is he has a stress fracture in his lower right leg, which is what has been causing his limp. It should heal on its own, so no cast for that.

I have many pictures & experiences from our trip that I would like to share (I journaled while I was there since Blogger was not cooperating), but for now, here's a couple pics from his first evening at home. You can also view a few more pictures here. Our friend, Tim, is a local photographer that gave us a most precious gift by coming to the airport & then to our home to take pictures of our first moments together.
