Another great day in the capital city. Max was really active today and we enjoyed a great time with him. We got pictures of him and his caregivers. We wanted a picture of him in his crib but he let us know immediately what a bad idea that was. We will not see him tomorrow (Sunday) and will then pick him up Monday, 12/15, and bring him to the guest house to stay with us until we leave on Thursday. After we left the WACAP house we drove about 50 Km south of Addis to visit a lake. This drive had everything. Cars, trucks, donkeys, cows, cats, people, people and more people. My favorite site was of a Shell station. There were no cars at the pumps, but about 100 people were lined up (on foot ) filling jugs with fuel. Interesting to say the least. We had a nice Ethiopian meal at a lake with another family that is adopting an 18 month old. Very nice scenery, sunshine and 80 degrees. Rebecca and I are now headed for a massage followed by dinner, without kids. The guest home we are staying at will watch after them while we are out.

Hey Kids
We are so happy for all of you and especially Max...what a gift he has received. This has to be a miracle in some respects, I still believe in miracles because no one can convince me otherwise.
You need to bring some little long johns, because it is not 80 degrees here!!! -5 at my house right now.
I have been travelling with you and thank you for sharing your journey.
We love you all and can't wait for you to get home.
Safe travels, give all those kids a great big hug and kiss for Jeff, Penny, Panda, Lady, Pilot and me.

Hey guys, great looking family! It was emotional just looking at these pictures so we can't imagine how you all must feel. Max is beautiful and clearly fits in to Rebecca's "nook" just perfectly. You can't possibly post enough pictures so keep them coming.
Love,
Jody, Curtis, Sidney and Aidan
I have chills, Travis. I cannot even imagine the emotions you are all going through, as well as the culture shock. We will keep watching the posts, and we cannot wait to meet you all in Seattle. Congratulations and God bless you all (well, he already has, but that he continues to do so).
