I woke up by his little shout of delight. ‘KOAS! Koas.‘ It was his first morning in his new house, in his new country. Everything was new to him, even the language – so he spoke his own; but something made him wake up with a smile. He found a football (a pillow formed as a ball, I might add) in his bed. He loved footballs, I knew that. And even though everything was new to him, it didn’t matter that much. He had a football in his bed and he felt right at home.

I can hardly believe that it’s 5 years since that morning. But today it is.

Here is a link to a post I made on the 14th October 2005. He’s still a wonderful kid, I’m so blessed for having him in my life. The photo above is taken in Ethiopia on the very day we became a family of two.

Happy New Year!!!

Wishing you all the best and lots of blessings for 2010

We are soon ready to go outside to welcome the New Year with some fireworks. Hoping to catch a few photos as well  (these above is a couple of years old already…), even though it’s chilly 15 below zero here right now (Celsius). Brrr..

Two years ago we celebrated with you that you got baptized. It was so great to be with you then – and I wish I lived closer so I could be come by and give you a hug today. You have been in my thoughts and prayer, though, and now I’m sending you this virtual hug. (Hopefully you mummy can bring it along for me)

Hope to see you soon, I miss you – and MT misses you as well!!

…still loving that hat
