This morning we had our paperwork party where will filled out 3 more forms for the US to grant us a visa for Meteku.
Amy Lusse passed out a motion sickness drug that begins with a "B." All of the folks who partook did much better in the car today including William. William definately had motion sickness.
Then, we went shopping. We got lots of good stuff! It was fun, but we found the haggling over prices to be taxing. Just give us a fair price already! But, it is the way here! Too funny! Rachel is brutal. I would have loved to have Lenka with us too!
We went to the Hilton to straighten out our seats on the Ethiopian Air flight home. They have a service center there. The Wempes' baby's ticket had be CANCELED, so it was good that we went! We also had lunch. That place is really nice!
In the late afternoon, we finally got the the transition home where we had the traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony, gave our nannies gifts, and gathered our babies!
Meteku fell asleep in the sling and slept all of the very bumpy way to the hotel. He enjoyed exploring the room. Meteku is so sweet and so smart!! He got a bath in the wet bar and got greased up and some PJs. He took a bottle and a half and fell asleep next to me in the bed. When I went to get up, he reached out for me not to go. It just melted my heart. We am here for him now.

You am there for him, eh? Sorry, I couldn't resist. It is beyond wonderful, amazing, miraculous to see Benaiah with his parents.
Bet William took Bonine. Miraculous stuff, that. Not so much for nursing mamas though.
The Gnome Knitters are watching your story unfold. I can't wait for you to come home with that precious boy!
This is just so wonderful! Benaiah looks to be just exactly where he belongs!!
Lots of Love,
Aunt Patti
