Will blog when not sick....

Daphne, Ben and I got home from Ethiopia last night...a day early...and thank goodness! As soon as I arrived in the Birmingham airport, I started vomiting and had diaherra! This lasted for several hours until I got some medicine in my system. I still feel pretty yucky, but haven't had any vomiting today...thank goodness. I have a couple of long posts coming about the trip. I will write one for people who will be traveling to Ethiopia with all the details. I spent hours the couple of days before we left looking for some information like I will post. I also want to do a general post all about the entire AMAZING experience. However, I feel too yuck right now to wrap my brain around everything. I will leave you with a couple of pictures of my precious, smart, handsome godson that came home from Africa until I feel better! Stay tuned!

Look at this smile!


Already a Tiger fan!


An amazing African sunrise that I got to see 2 times (because I was off schedule but who else can say they've ever seen an African sunrise!?! WOW!)

Happy Birthday Little One!

Yesterday was Kate's 3rd birthday. I cannot believe that she has been in this world for 3 years! For those of you who don't know who Kate is, she is a daughter of a very good friend of mine. I play Auntie to her too! Here are a few pictures of her small birthday gathering. She will have a big party this weekend, but since I won't be here, a few of us got together on her real birthday to have a little party.

Kate with the Cinderella doll that Daphne gave her. The kid loves princesses!

Blowing out the candles...hope you made a great wish!
