Best Christmas Ever


I just had to write today because I have been reading everyone's blog to catch up and I am sitting here listing to my little Zoey Mahider singing to Hannah Montana (she is downstairs and I am upstairs) and it is SO great!! I am so happy and still floating since bringing the kids home. I had been so completely different this past year plus struggling through the up's and down's of this adoption and I am SO happy that it is over. You know, I don't understand why they have to make things so complicated some times... but it is over now.

Kemyla Fitsum is loving school... she is the only one who has started thus far. All of her teachers love her and say she is doing amazingly well. She is in 8th grade and recieved a 29.5 out of 30 on her first Algebra test. She loves art and math. She is sitting on the couch right now reading the first book of "The Twilight Series". I got it for her for Christmas. It is my favorite series I must say. I can't wait for the 4th book. Anyway, she started it last night and is more than half way through it.

All the kids are doing great and Ayden is in heaven and being spoiled rotten by the kids.

Finally

Well, we are back and beginning to settle. The kids are happy and our jetlag is wearing off. We came home last Sunday and have been pretty much taking it easy this week. I didn't spend much time with the kids in Ethiopia because of so much running around. But it is nice to be home and enjoy my wonderful family.
