Day #1...Meeting our son!!! :)

I know some of you really want to know what is going on with us, so I'll sit down and try to recap things so far.  We were picked up at our hotel at 9:30 on Feb. 28. We went to HH. We knew we had paperwork to do, so we thought we might do that first. We were barely out of the vehicle and one of the special mothers said, "Do you want to see your baby?" Downpour of tears!! :) They were standing on the front step of one of the building. We both loved on him a bit. We got to feed him. Then we took him with us to do our paperwork. We went down for a nap so we went outside to play with the big kids. We were barely out there and it was time for lunch. By this time it was only about 11. Not much time there. :( Then Almaz said we could come back about 2:30. :) We got back to the hotel and ate lunch with our friends that are here with from SD picking up their kiddos. At 2:30 we went back to HH. Kobe was getting a bath. I held a couple of the babies that were crying and loved on them. When Kobe was done with his bath, his special mother put on the outfist we brought to take some pictures in. Jason fed him a bottle. We went to a room off all by ourselves and took some pictures. He peed on his outfit so we took him back upstairs to get him changed. We then went back downstairs to this family room again. He had another bottle. He fell asleep with me and woke up when I tried to share him with Jason. It was amazing to see the smiles and the coos that came in the afternoon, but not in the morning.  We got back to the hotel about 5 and took a short nap. Meet our SD friends for supper. We went back to our room. Our friend "T" came and used our internet. That concludes our first day in Ethiopia. Nothing could ever describe the feeling of meeting a child you have hoped for, dreamed for, prayed for, and goo-gooed over his picture. He is a true blessing and we already can't wait to get him home.
