Love my job!!!

Well, today was my last day to be in control of my classroom. The student teacher officially takes over on Monday for 6 weeks. That will be very hard for me, but she is wonderful. I decided to buy donuts for my classes, celebrate the last day of the semester and FINALLY announce the adoption. They were soooo excited!! The girls wanted to right away see pictures, they all had great questions and were full of great comments. I love the opportunity I have to touch lives of young people!

I have been told by friends that they cannot leave comments on the blog. I think I have it fixed!! Thank you for the help. Tomorrow morning off to fingerprinting...

Well, Thursday was a very eventful night for our family. We met with about 15 other families at an Ethiopian restaurant in Eastown. It was the first time Gavin was able to meet or see other Ethiopian children. It was the first time Brandon and Gavin were asked to eat the food.... Gavin turned out to be incredibly shy, he was surveying the situation all night and kind of watching the other children but not interacting!!!! Both Brandon and Gavin bravely tried the food, but neither liked it and had a bowl of cereal when we got home! The evening of fellowship was great though, I was able to put some names with faces and look forward to the next time we will be able to meet other families.
Each experience is new and exciting:)

In the mail!!!

Wow, we finally have sent our paperwork to USCIS! Yeah for us! Now we are officially waiting for our government. I am thankful to have made it this far and this is only the beginning....
