Welcome Home Silas!!

Well, we have been back home now almost for a week (doesn't seem like it can already be one week). We were gone almost 3 weeks and stayed healthy up until the end of the trip. Luckily, all 3 of us were "OK" for the plane, and Silas did a wonderful job foir those 24 plus hours. Once we got home, Sarah and I both brought back our sickness with us, and have spent the better part of this week fighting it off. But all in all, a great trip and we wouldn't change it for a minute.

Silas has transitioned so well, and seems to now be getting on a schedule. We will go for our first doctor appointment tomorrow AM. He has bonded very well with us and he could pick his mommy and daddy out in a crowd for sure.

I'm sure Sarah will have more to say later, but wanted to get something up, as I know many have asked if we have made it back.

But for now, I will let the pictures do the talking.....

24 hour Countdown

Well, our week of fun and relaxation with friends in Cairo, Egypt is quickly coming to an end. It is somewhat bittersweet, as we will miss them but am so excited about the next few days as we finally get to hold Silas in our arms. We spent the first 2/3 of our week here in Cairo visiting tourist spots, resting, hanging out with friends, and just seeing their day to day activities. The last 1/3 of the trip we spent together with our friends on a mini-vacation in Hurghada, Egypt on the Red Sea.
One last day to get in a few more activites, and then we are off to the airport tonight for a 2 am flight to Ethiopia.

**** Also, if you haven't watched the video again in a few days found below, check it out again. We have added some pictures that we recently received from another Ethiopia adoptive family.
