AddisAbaby: September 2007
http://addisababy.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 13, 2007. Just when you least expect it. So just imagine the shock and sickening feeling we had when we saw that THIS was the image painted on the side of the car that our gorgeous, brilliant, resilient, smart-as-a-whip Ethiopian toddler was sitting in. Speechless, sad, and nauseous too. Links to this post. Tuesday, September 11, 2007. Did I take pictures? Back to the swimming- she got to do a lot of it during our two week trip back to Montana. We spent a week in Chinook with Kent...

AddisAbaby: Ella on a great Spring day!
http://addisababy.blogspot.com/2008/05/ella-on-great-spring-day.html
Saturday, May 10, 2008. Ella on a great Spring day! The weather has finally warmed up, and Ella and Julia enjoyed a wonderful day out in the yard. In this first one, Ella is eating a chocolate covered strawberry on the front porch. Ella is drawing with her sidewalk chalks that are in the shapes of vegetable characters. Ella dances and sings on the driveway. Ella rides her rocking lion and sings "I had a little turtle.". I think it's obvious which she likes better- duh, the chocolate! How old is she now?

Friday, June 26, 2009. We only update in months that start with 'J'. A blog post I started almost a year ago. Now I'll post it. Never got the pictures. Crimany, we neglect our sad, old blog. Oh, this lonely blog. I say we only update in months that start with 'J' because I/we lack any other good excuse. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Who we are. Why we're here. Two first-time parents, late 30s-early40s. One toddler. One dog. One job. Deep, calming breaths, everyone. A girl and her dog.

Sunday, December 23, 2007. A year and a scosh. As we are just on top of our blog and keeping all those who eagerly await our updates with anticipation, we've just had our first ' famiversary. As of a couple of weeks ago. It is hard to believe that Ella has been home for over a year. She is growing fast and she is doing well in all other regards. She can sing 'Twinkle Twinkle' all by herself and does a heck of job on 'Old McDonald's Farm.' . Ella has been enjoying her new daycare at UW. Links to this post.

AddisAbaby: Two Years
http://addisababy.blogspot.com/2008/12/two-years.html
Friday, December 12, 2008. It is hard to believe that it is two years since we made our journey half way round the world to meet Ella. In some ways it is hard to remember our lives before she was home. Although at times (mid-tantrum - they are rare), it is a bit easier to remember those carefree days. Merry Christmas. Kent. Yippee you are back! I just non chalantly clicked on your blog thinking oh it won't be updated.and IT WAS! Nice to see the update. Ashyn has the same interest, must be the age. I real...

AddisAbaby: July 2007
http://addisababy.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 29, 2007. VID KID: What Ella is listening to these days. To keep a little Ethiopian culture in our daily lives, Kent and Ella have taken to watching videos of Ethiopian singers he finds on YouTube. The music we like is a sort of Ethiopian pop-dance music, highlighting aspects of ET culture. Some wonderful dancing, and great shots of rural life in ET. Next up: The stunning Tigist Weyso, singing an untitled and very catchy song. This video is much like any pop music video you've ever seen,...
