Brad and I got shots today. I got Hep-A, Hep-B & Tetanus. I also got Typhoid pills. Brad had already gotten a lot of stuff before he went to Haiti, so he just got his 2nd round of Hep-B. I’m a little behind the curve on getting these done because everything has happened so quickly, but I think we’ll be fine. My arms are sore, though – especially the Tetanus arm! I’m glad to have that behind us – one more thing crossed off the to-do list!
Three weeks from right now we’ll be on a plane traveling to Dubai and then on to Ethiopia . . . hard to believe! We mailed a photo album to our little boy today so he can start getting used to what his new family looks like. As I put it together I wondered what in the world he will think when he looks at it and his special mother explains who we are. How much will he understand at 3.5 years old? There are pictures of all of us, our house and even our cat.
Here we are sporting our bandaids (do you like my Bugs Bunny one?!) . . .
I’ll leave you with this video that’s been going around on Facebook and adoption blogs. Check it out if you haven’t seen it already. As a photographer, I especially appreciate the artistic talent of the creator, Paul Hassell. I absolutely cannot wait to be on Ethiopian soil experiencing the culture first hand!
I hope you all have a great weekend!
