We made it!

Hello from Ethiopia!!!

We arrived this afternoon, have settled in to our room and had a bit of a rest. Our flights went well and all of our luggage arrived in one piece. Right now we can't access email or facebook...hopefully we can figure it out. We are going to keep it short for now. Tomorrow at 10:00 am we will go to the orphanage and meet Bedi for a short visit! It is still so surreal - tomorrow we will see our son for the first time!!!!

That is all we know for now - will tell more when the jet lag fog clears.

love
Mike and Brenda

It is 6 am for you both so I am sure you are almost awake or will be soon.
All the best as you go to meet him. It still feels so unreal to me even though my first visit is long over , I am still trying to remind myself that it is real.
Have a wonderful time, I cant wait to hear you have seen him with your own eyes.
My thoughts are with you guys looking forward to Monday cant wait for you to have one more step behind you.
You guys did it !!!!!! You are really in Ethiopia
Lots of love
