Carlito and Mekdes are getting to know each other better everyday; at first it was a little difficult for Lito to accept having to share the love from mom and dad with somebody else but as time goes by their relationship has gotten better, they play together more and fight a little less --they are still brother and sister though--
Last November Mekdes had a chance to visit with her little friend "K" with whom she had spent some time in Ethiopia and now lives about 2 hrs away from us, they are a great family and has been a blessing to know them. Talking about reunions... in December we went to visit family in California and had a chance to meet with one of the great adoptive families and travel companion that we love so much. They happen to be on vacation in CA as well, so Mekdes and Carlito got to have dinner with their friend Bereket and family! Carlito got to know Bereket during the week that we all spent in Ethiopia and they have established a great bond that we hope will continue for life. It was great visiting with them! We only wish to have the opportunity to spend some time with the other families this year, God willing!
We also did the baby/child dedication for Mekdes at our church, asking God for protection over her and the whole family. It was a very nice event since we have a nice support from our church family.
Oh yeah, also, another dental appointment for Mekdes!
Here are some pictures to show all those events!
