The Littlest Rower

Ade loves to come to the gym with us.

He gets lots of attention from everyone and has fun playing on the equipment! We think it is important for him to see us and other people we know being active so it becomes second nature to him to work out.

His favourite machine to play on is the C2 Rower...we think rowing might be in his future because he picked it up quite fast.

Wee Legs Can Make for a Long Journey

"Hey! Wait for me! I'm coming!!!"

"I said wait! I'll be there soon!"



"Oh man! Why is this taking so long???"



"Almost.....there...."



"If it's o.k. with you....I'm just gonna rest for a bit!"

Our Boy

Mother Nature's Cruelest Joke...

..just might be teething (besides PMS, puberty and menopause)

Poor little guy is working on teeth number 5 & 6 since we arrived in Ethiopia 3 months ago.

Right now his 2 bottom canine teeth are half way up and his top 2 are just starting to make their way thru the gums.

Yesterday he could have filled a swimming pool with the drool...he has been feeling so awful and I think the fever came with the teeth pushing.

His temp. is back down to normal today thank goodness.

Thanks for all the well wishes and advice :) it was much appreciated!

Manic Monday

One panicky mom!

No Manic Monday post!

All Work and No Play

The T-Shirt Says It All

Channeling his inner Elvis maybe? Or Billy Idol?

Ya, Billy that's it!

Last summer my friend Laura came for a visit with her husband Chad and their daughter Sara.

She gave us these fabulous t-shirts for Ade.

The top t-shirt he wore when we walked thru the airport doors to greet our friends and family.

Laura and her family are waiting to bring home their wee son Seth who is a couple months younger than Ade. Their journey has been a long, tough process as well and I think of them everyday!

Please send some positive thoughs and prayers their way so Seth can come home to his family!
