Good morning, Everyone. I just spoke with Jaclyn on the expensive phone (buy stock in Cingular). She is encountering some limitations on communicating with us. The internet in Addis Ababa, even the high-speed at the Hilton, isn't working, and she can receive text messages, but not send any. She thanks everyone for your love and messages, but she cannot respond to you.
She took the boys to the Lion Park. They watched real lions devour goat pieces and road a small ferris wheel. Minte' is learning more english words with Aiden's help. When he gets frustrated, he says a word in Amharic that sounds real close to our "s--t". Also, Jaclyn learned that you can't keep the electric converter plugged into the wall for 2 days......started to smoke.
They're having fun learning about each other and bonding. Ya'll have a blessed day. Mine is very, very quiet.

Boy, I understand! We are adopting from Haiti and it is just like that!
That's my girl....smoking converter....I swear we must be long-lost sisters!!
Tell them to sneak a lion back for me, I got a few goats that need killing.
Come see an old fat man some time.
I am so sorry to hear about court. It will take some more time, but you will have both of your precious boys home soon enough! I am so glad Jaclyn is enjoying her time:-) Strange, but I nearly had a small electrical fire in my car this morning trying to charge my phone!! Lots of smoke! LOL
