So Jaden turned two yesterday! I was so emotional all day yesterday...tears tears and more tears. I am so not the cryer by the way. I think that I was on survival mode for the first few months and then thrown into work and then for the last month everything that I experienced and saw in Ethiopia has finally hit me. Weirdly enough I still can't write about it. I barely talk about it...but it's all coming together. So to know that Jaden was 12 pounds this time last year when he turned on (my boss's 3 month old weighs that) and how he spent a year in the care center...that his uncle and sisters must be missing him terribly... too much emotion to hold in I guess.
Also, it was on Jaden's birthday last year that Jeff and I decided to adopt from Ethiopia and use Gladney!! That in itself is so overwhelming. That God has shown us his plan was for him to be with us and everyone else.....that it was not random!!
He is such an amazing little man who is so healthy and thriving amazingly! Very loving and super smart and funny. However we have hit a ton of tantrums lately welcoming us to his terrible two's I guess but when he's not throwing a fit...he is so charming:)
My driver while there, Henock, was so amazing and one of my greatest people that I will remember there. He shared their culture with me as well as the Ethiopian values! He has recently opened a guest house and I am going to post the website for it. Our family will surly use it when we return and I hope that you all will consider it as well. Please click on:
