Home over a year...

It's hard to believe that Calvin and Zahara have been home over a year! On August 6th we celebrated 1 year home. Recently I took them in to have pictures taken in their Ethiopian outfits. They are made from 100% cotton that the people spin and weave themselves. They then are decorated with various designs and hand embroidery. Very beautiful....

"Oh where, Oh where has my daddy gone?..."

Eliana is 3, and with that comes all the drama and fun you could possibly imagine. Just this week Tony was gone all day from dawn to dusk. Tony would normally be home for supper, but he still wasn't home when we were done eating. So, as Eliana was sitting there at the table she started singing:



"Oh where, oh where has my daddy gone?
Oh where, oh where can he be?
With his ears cut short
And his tail cut long...

Daddy doesn't have a tail! He has a BUTT!" (Then hilarious 3-year-old laughter)



It made me laugh so hard that I know she realized she had said something funny. So, the word BUTT is now the new "it" word in our house. Oh well....
