Catching up from Vacation

So I have been home a few days and had not had much time to catch up this blog on what's been going on. We went to Myrtle Beach for several days with my parents and unfortunately I have brought back some stomach ailment that keeps coming back. It has not been enjoyable. Everytime I think I am getting better it returns. I guess now I can catch you up on our trip. We headed to Myrtle Beach, yes, I know it is cold this time of year but it was a chance to take a cheap trip. Also it was Delylah's first vacation so it will be a memorable one. Even though it was chilly the trip was enjoyable. We had a great resort right on the beach with an indoor pool which is a perk with kids. We also had a chance to visit Ripley's aquarium which we had a hard time prying Lennah away from the shark slide they had there. I think we spent an hour at the slide alone. We had some great food and best yet the kids were pretty good in the car. I have to say they did really good going and coming. Which eases my worries about our upcoming travels to Disney in a few short months. I think the trip back was pretty good because no one but Keith was feeling well so the kids slept a lot. Lennah was so cute and kept asking to go to the beach and the pool. She had a hard time understanding that the beach was cold and we couldn't spend too much time there. Delylah was a little freaked over the pool the first time. She had never had the opportunity to go swimming before because Ethiopia was cold and it was late in the summer when we got back. She finally adjusted and did much better the next time we took her to the pool. Enjoy the photos for now, I am adding so photos since the last time I posted and our trip photos.

Special Day

Today is a very special day because of two reasons. Two years ago to this very day Keith and I became parents ffor the first time. It was today that we accepted Lennah's referral. Just for that one reason we have a lot to celebrate. Today also marks the six month anniversary for gotcha day of Delylah. It was six months ago that our baby girl was placed in my arms. Unfortunately Keith did not come to Ethiopia but it has been a wonderful six months of two times the chaos. We are so thankful in so many ways for these two little girls because we would not have Delylah without Lennah. It is just so amazing that one turn in life brings you somewhere that affects so much later on without realizing it. Because of Lennah we have made friends who in turn brought us to our second daughter so we are twice blessed. Who knows where life will take us next but we are thrilled and hopefully at some point will expand our family again. For now I am cutting this post short because we are on vacation in Myrtle Beach and will post more once we return home but for now enjoy the few photos of then and now of our girls.
