GOTCHA WEEK!

We didn't have just one GOTCHA Day celebration. We had a whole GOTCHA week. Here is Jakob getting ready to go celebrate in his Ethiopian Outfit.Friday Night we went to GoJo's in GR. It is an Ethiopian Resturant. We first went there before we left to get Jakob. We went with Ted & Jill to celebrate the Gotcha day of Josie & Zuri with the rest of the gang.Here is the gang minus the 2 babies. They are sitting with Sammy the owner of the resturant. Jakob really didn't like us taking this picture.Picking out the food is fun. Luckily it is all in English here.Here is what we ate. There is all different kinds of Wat on the injera; with some Salad in the middle. It is very good and very spicy. The injera is what you use to eat it with. No silverware.Zuri loved the injera. She remembers eating it in Ethiopia.Here is Josie and I.Jakob loved the injera to. It will be fun to take him back there as he gets older.On Saturday we had a party for Jakob. The cake is a symbol of their flag. I made it myself (well with my mom's help). Here are some things from Ethiopia that we had on display. The outfit, is the outfit from the orphanage that we took him home in. Here is our special baby. He is growing up to be such a little boy. Words can not express how thankful we are to have Jakob from Ethiopia. The bonding and the love that has taken place over the past year is amazing. Jakob you have a special place in many peoples hearts. We love you very much. We are looking forward to all the adventures of this upcoming year.
Love Ya
