I am completely exhausted after these emotional, stressful, joyful 2 weeks in Ethiopia. No details about the trip now (because I'm lucky that I can remember my own name at this point), but just wanted to let everyone know that we made it home safe and sound. Thus far things are going amazingly well. Markos was surely picked by God for our family. He is a laugh a minute and we are so thrilled that he is here to stay FOREVER!
A few pictures and video clips before I crash for a few days, possibly weeks:
