Henok in America!

Hi everyone...  wow!  What an exciting and crazy couple of days.  We have been on the road driving from Dallas to College Station and then to Groves, TX and now finally back to Houston for some 4th of July action.  All in the last 4 days!

Well, we picked Henok up at Gladney, and he is as beautiful as we we could have ever hoped.  He is smart and funny, very affectionate, and has a great sense of humor.  I definately think I'm going to enjoy this "Parenthood" gig... ;)

Just a few minutes after meeting Henok, he asked "You have Computer?"   I knew he was my Son... hahaha   I told him Yes, we have 3 computers, and his eyes got even bigger (if that's possible...;)

Well, it seems that Henok also loves to take pictures.  We gave him our old camera to use while he is here to take pictures of things he would like to remember, and he has gone through 7 sets of AA batteries and has well over 300 pics so far.  We are going to print many of them out for him to take back to Ethiopia with him so he can have some of his memories there while he waits for us to go back to get him.  I'm going to have to take out a loan to cover the cost of batteries until then...  hahahah....!

Well, we have taken well over 400 pictures over the last 4 days as well and I have a few that I want to share with everyone.  So, for now, here are a few pics.

Love you all, and hope to see you soon!
