Dedication/ Praise Celebration

On Saturday April 19th, we had a baby dedication/praise celebration to honor God for the blessing He brought into our lives. Family and friends from near and far came to share in our joy. The youth choir, girls and boys praise dancers, T.B. who sang and C.S. who performed a praise dance participated in the program. Afterwards we had a reception for about 100 friends and family members. It was really more like a family reunion and our little guy enjoyed meeting everyone!

Special thanks to Andre Wade (www.adwphotos4U.com )for the photography!!!

Our School Visit



Before I left for Ethiopia I told my class that I would probably not be back this school year. I did promise them that I would come back and introduce them to my son. On Friday, they hosted a Welcome Back party for us. It was great to see them! I couldn't believe how big they had grown. They were so excited to see the baby and he was excited to meet them! They each wrote me a letter and several brought gifts for the baby. My substitute, G.W., baked cakes and the kids brought in treats. The baby and I had a great day! The class can't wait for us to come back for another visit.
