We are back again in Ethiopia. We traveled on Saturday into Sunday and arrived at 8:30 a.m. Sunday morning. We were both feeling pretty tired since we got up at 2:30 a.m. on Saturday morning and basically didn’t get to sleep on Saturday night because we were on the air plane and arrived local time at 8:30 a.m. but it was 11:30 p.m. Bloomington time. It was nice to know what to expect this time from the flight to navigating the airport. We were greeted by one of our guides who immediately remembered us and asked us about our safari in Tanzania. I was impressed with his memory since he interacts with different American couples all the time. We were brought to the hotel to promptly leave for church. We attended the same church as last time but it was a little bit of a struggle to keep my eyes open. Plus the chairs were placed very close together so we were having flash backs of being on the airplane again. We then went to lunch and then to the orphanage to see Crew. We were having conflicting reviews from the guides of whether we could take him home with us today or not but we ended up taking him. We will have to go back tomorrow to see the doctor and receive his daily schedule (feeding, sleeping, etc.). Crew was a little sad to see us but got over it quickly. It seemed like he was saying “you guys again; I thought I just got rid of you.” We took him back to the hotel after a couple hour stay at the orphanage. His nannies said good bye to Crew with hugs and kisses. It was very cute to see he would be missed. He loved the car ride back to the hotel but screamed uncontrollably for about an hour to an hour and a half after arriving at the hotel. We then gave him a bottle and he has been sleeping ever since. I hope he does better tomorrow. Hopefully he sleeps through the night as well. We will see. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s entry in our adventures in parenting a newly adopted child.
