With Love For Africa: ETHIOPIAN RECIPES
http://withloveforafrica.blogspot.com/p/africanethiopian-recipes.html
We love to cook together and have really enjoyed making Ethiopian food! It will be very important for us to continue experimenting with Ethiopian food, because it is one way to include our children's culture in their daily lives when they are home with us. The smells and tastes may be comforting and familiar to them. We will update this page as we add recipes to our repertoire. Here are a few of our favorites:. April 8, 2013 at 5:27 PM.

http://withloveforafrica.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-last-6-months.html
Saturday, June 20, 2015. The Last 6 Months. What have Caris and I been up to the last 6 months? Caris says, "I don't know." GRIN. A whole lot of fun staying home together. I have been loving this 1:1 time with my baby girl. She is more of a toddler now than a baby! She is 21 months old already. She loves her mama, too. Mama's girl, for sure! Mama loves dressing her up. She learned to walk in March and has been on-the-go ever since! Especially when Dada is chasing her! A little spring sunshine. Please kee...

Ever since, I love to experiment with cooking and baking. These are some of my tried and true favorites that I make over and over again. Enjoy! Chicken Stew With Biscuits.

http://withloveforafrica.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 27, 2014. Somehow, Caris has already been 1 year old for 10 days. I like to think we are still celebrating her first year of life. Why not? My girl has earned extra celebration. . We had a simple birthday day on September 17th. We gave her some gifts from us- I am in love with the fact that she went straight for her birthday card rather than the presents themselves first! Day after her birthday.being swung through the air by Daddy is the Best Thing Ever! Thursday, September 18, 2014.

With Love For Africa: Wrapping Up Christmas
http://withloveforafrica.blogspot.com/2014/12/wrapping-up-christmas.html
Friday, December 26, 2014. This Christmas was oh so special for Colin and me. The very first one home with our daughter, Caris. Last year we spent our most favorite holiday in the NICU, and it was sad for me, as I thought we would have been home. But 2014.Christmas was amazing. We chopped down our tree right after Thanksgiving, decorated it and our house with meaningful ornaments and words like 'joy' and 'noel'. Here is my Caris Noelle. Filled with love and joy! December 27, 2014 at 2:26 AM. I love the p...

With Love For Africa: April 2014
http://withloveforafrica.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 19, 2014. I am struggling with what to make of my time with this blog- what to share about my family, to post pictures or to not. Should I make time to share anything at all during this season of my life? My blog journey started with my experience with infertility, which became the start of our Ethiopian adoption, and now concurrently- the motherhood of my beautiful micro-preemie daughter, Caris. So pretty. So smiley. Love her so much. Colin and I are doing well! Well, I am a mama! Welcom...

With Love For Africa: Almost One
http://withloveforafrica.blogspot.com/2014/09/almost-one.html
Tuesday, September 9, 2014. Caris will be turning one on September 17. ONE. It is simply a miracle that we were blessed with our baby girl, and that she is healthy and growing beautifully despite her early arrival. Strangers ask how old she is and think that she should be. Because of her size. This is awesome. She is a tall girl! I am so lucky to have a little girl. Wanted a girl and just 'knew' the baby would be one. In the following picture, Caris is wearing my old dress! Her personality is so fun!
