Settling in nicely

Hello.

What a crazy and exciting time we are having. Being new parents surely has it's challenges, and we are seeing that clearly now. Henok is doing well, and adjusting to his new Home. He was VERY excited to be in America, and even more excited to be a new American!

Our church had a Welcome "shower" for Henok on Sunday, and that was great! He received so many cool gifts and many gift cards. Henok was so excited, and is enjoying playing with all of them!

I was finally able to get the pictures from Ethiopia downloaded to the PC late last week. My memory card is new, and the card reader wouldn't recognize the new memory type so I had to buy a new card reader. All is well, and the pictures and video clips (all 1400 of them) are all safely on my PC now. Sorry I don't have any ready to post yet, but I will try to have some up soon.

You know, it's a real blessing when God gives you exactly what you asked for. We wanted a beautiful, wonderful, healthy and energetic young child, and that's exactly what we got. Again, I have to thank God for the amazing gift he has given, and for his faithfullness in all things.

In His Service,

Matthew

We really enjoyed seeing Henok at the "shower". At our house we call it a church party. We hope he is adjusting well. Lets get together sometime.
