Ethiopian New Year!!

Yes today is the Ethiopian New Years Day! I am not really sure what that means other then a lot of goats and sheep will loose their lives today and their will be bonfires all over the city. Wonder if they have to get a permit???(not)
I have spoken with the travelers a couple times since my last post. I called on Wed am because I was sure I had solved the Camille puking problem. Figured it was what ther were feeding her. However Gary let me know that when they took her from the Orphanage after lunch for the last time as they walked out the door again,, poor Morgan got covered. So the nannies took Camille back in the Orphanage and changed her.. thus the new jacket we had gotten her (you know to match Maggie) Gone....Oh well maybe I will one day see someone else's child in it on their blog.
Gary said the ceremony at the Orphanage was short and informal. The kids each got an Authentic Ethiopian outfit and a hand made backpack. Neat... Then Gary informs me that they left Henry at the Orphanage..WHAT they left him... Henry was to get an injection that eve. So they did not pick him up until Thurs at 10am. (a potassium shot he could have done without) Anyway he says Camille is not able to keep any solid foods down and very little of anything else. Last I heard Henry was not eating for them either. Gary also says he is very congested in his chest. Typical for kids from Ethiopia. Then to add a bit of humor to the pot.. as I lay down last night to pray for Camille to stop vomiting, safe travels, for Henry to eat. for them to have enough clothes. Oh that' s the other thing.. they are washing the barf covered clothes int he sink and hanging them out to dry but remember it's the rainy season. So they are taking two days to dry..So if you are going to Ethiopia buck up the extra for the bigger adapter and take a hair dryer. Could be handy. Ok back to my story.. keeping up? As I begin to pray last night what do I hear from down the hall no I think,, really Lord..?? SERIOUSLY....Peter is in there throwing up so from 10pm to about 3am about every 20 minutes he barfed... Not to worry he just does that sometimes.. about every 5 weeks or so.. No good reason No residual affects he gets up at the same time as usual wants to eat breakfast and never really wakes up during the night. But remember he is special:):):):)I would not trade him for the world.
So all that said, Their plane leaves from Addis at 2pm our time which is 10pm Addis time they arrive in Washington 7am Washington time. Then after a small 7 hour layover they arrive home at 5pm. All the kids especially Maggie are very eager for them to be home. Now will the little ones be so excited to see their new sibs... well that's another post isn't it?
Today may we remember this 9/11 those who died needlessly, those who lost their daddy's and mommy's, daughters, sons, brothers and sisters. For those babies born that never met their daddy's because of selfishness,hate and bitterness. Rember them today.
