This is the very first picture taken when Markos entered care. It was taken in Wolayta at the orphanage there. Unfortunately, when they first opened, their digital camera usage or camera was poor and all the pictures received from there were these tiny little images.
Thankfully, Markos was moved to Addis fairly quickly so we also received these 2 pictures with his referral packet:
Our first picture update:
Our second set of update pictures:
Finally, a few pictures from our first trip to Ethiopia:
(this is not the greatest picture of me, but look at his big, beautiful, brown eyes!)
Can't wait to share many more happy, smiley pictures of Markos in the future!
