We're Home!! All four of us!

After a long day in Addis Ababa filled with shopping, sight seeing and hanging out, we made our way to the Addis airport March 17 at 7:00pm Ethiopia time to begin our journey home! As expected we had problems, loopholes and trying times for the next while as we made our way home. We knew that the journey home would be difficult but I guess you kinda have to experience it to know for sure. Yup, it was difficult! Finally, March 18th around 11:00pm Osler time we walked into our home! "Home" as Cindy & I knew it anyway. For the boys, it was a whole new adventure just begining! After checking out a few new things like cold weather, parkas, car seats, snow, etc. Mesele & Abinet began to check out their new home! When they finally made it to "their room" they got to see what you have all seen in the first post...a blue room decorated with sesame street and a giant cookie monster! Their eyes lit up with excitement again! Even though a bed that had been calling our names since about March 8th was only a few steps away from us, Cindy & I didn't actually get to sleep until mom & dad came to the rescue around 10:30am the next morning. Cindy & I both slept in complete peace for a few hours! The rest of the day was gone in no time checking out our luggage, going for a walk, eating meals and just hanging out!

I have to apologize for not being able to update this blog while in Ethiopia like I had planned. I heard that blogsites like this are actually blocked in Ethiopia which is why I couldn't access it myself but thank you to those that updated it for us. You did a great job! I would love to continue to add to it now that we are home and post what it was originally intended for....pictures! Our plan is to try our best to set all four of our clocks to Osler time as quickly as we can. We don't mean to be anti social, but adjusting to life in Canada for the boys will take a while, and it is also going to take Brent and I a while to adjust to being parents. We really appreciate all of your prayers and comments that you have left us and we would ask that you please continue to pray for all of us. The language barrier is quite difficult and we need to get our sleeping schedule figured out! Once we think that we are all settled in, we would love to see all our friends, family, co workers again. Please feel free to call! We love you all very much! Thanks for being so patient with us!
