Photos, photos and more photos!

Okay...so I didn't exactly blog while I was in Ethiopia. I never Skyped. I never sent Scott photos or video. I could barely email and one time I resorted to desperate measures (a public message to my husband on Facebook) because communication was rather frustrating.

I hope to write about my actual trip and post photos of Ethiopia soon. But for right now, I'm just going to give the people what they really want...cute photos of the girls!

Leaving Ethiopia

Bedtime in Papa's arms

Being silly with Nana and Papa
(And a special shout-out to Nana who was an invaluable part of my trip to get the girls!)

Bri exploring the playground

Des loving the swing

Hopefully I'll get a shot of all of my kids together tomorrow!

Yeah! I love comments! Feel free to leave me one (or two or three).
But remember what your mama said..."If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Thanks!
