We are alive and doing great. Ethiopia is really unlike any place I've ever been. The poverty is astounding. Yesterday we arrived a little late, and it took 2 hours to get through customs. Needless to say, we were running later than expected and had to literally drop our bags in our room and go (no electricity yesterday). Meeting Mia was surreal, partially because I couldn't believe we were actually there and partially because we were going on 30 hours without any good sleep. Today we went shopping in the morning, and then we got to bring Mia back to the hotel with us. We've been having lots of fun; she is a snuggle bug and a great baby so far. We gave her her first bath in our bathroom sink and Travis has now successfully changed 2 diapers. I'm hoping to attach a couple of pictures, but if they don't go through, sorry. The internet is slower than dial up. We love you all and can't wait for you to meet her!
