Re: My boys have been home for one month!!!
HI!!! Thanks for asking about school!!! They had a half day yesterday, so we followed behind the bus in the morning to see its route and then I dropped them at school, I picked them up and they came out with HUGE smiles!!! Today, they were THRILLED to ride the bus and came home with even bigger smiles. Biruk as so excited that he went to the library and checked out two books..one about dinosaurs and one about tigers..and Paulos was thrilled to work on the computer. They both have made friends and are sad that there is no school tomorrow!!!! They were so cute getting on that bus...they were laughing and jumping up and down..it was so cool. Then when they sat down, they were waving hysterically/..just adorable!!!

Re: My boys have been home for one month!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAW! Yay! They're fitting right in! I'm so happy for them. I think it's great that they have each other too. It probably makes the transition easier for them. They're not in the same class, are they?

Re: My boys have been home for one month!!!
They are both in the 3rd grade!!! But I am glad they are in different classes!! They are too cute! Everything they do and appreciate just amazes me. I really feel like the luckiest woman ever. They pick out their clothes the night before and they both have such cute taste! I am amazed at how gorgeous they are. I just look at them and cant believe my eyes..these little boys whose pictures Ive kissed a thousand times are actually here, hugging and kissing me and telling me they love me. I cant describe a better feeling. The other day, a woman posted pictures from Ethiopia in June and my son Paulos was in them..it was so wild to look at those pictures, just like I used to do, wishing I could bring him home..I looked at those pictures of him in the oprhanage and thought WOW..he is finally home..he isnt there anymore..he is HERE..it was just a really cool experience..a good feeling, that my children are finally safe. Being a single mom to two boys who are fighting for attention and love is draining but so rewarding, last night Biruk asked me if I loved him when he tried to bite me (when he was getting his shots)..if he gets in trouble, he asks if I still love him. Its heartbreaking. I told him I dont like to be bitten, but I will love him ALWAYS and he cried. its just so sad. But every day, they realize more and more that I truly love them and I will love them no matter what their behavior is. It is just so sad to me that children even have to questions a parents love. I think once we get settled, we will adopt again, maybe a girl..but this wouldnt be for atleast a year. I need to let these boys adjust and grow and develop complete trust.
One exciting thing is tomorrow night is the Ethiopian New year...celebration time!!! Enkutatash..its called. they were thrilled that I told them it was coming up and they sang a song! Very cute.
I cant even begin to explain how happy I am. I went through friggin hell bringing these boys home. It has been one stressful ride and I prayed and prayed that it would be worth it once they were home, now they are home and it is beyond worth it. They are the best things that have ever happened to me.
What blew me away was we were watching news on Hurricane Katrina and we were talking about kids who lost families, etc and they want to help. This amazes me, when they lost their parents, their siblings, yet they still want to help. Sweet., sweet boys. So we will go and buy toys for the big truck in Philly thats doing a toy drive. I just found it awesome that they know they are fortunate and they want to help others. Children are so amazing. I feel so lucky to be around such resilient, young, beautiful children.
