6 months ago today I met Bizunesh

September 30, 2008 I met the most amazing woman. Bizunesh would remind you of Jesus's mother Mary. I sat with her, asked her questions, answered her questions, cried together and promised her that I would take great care of Selamnesh. Now 6 months later she isn't the same frail little baby we brought home. She is a beautiful, little girl. She has full cheeks, chubby thighs, talks non-stop, sings constantly, and loves to make faces. I pray that God gives Bizunesh dreams that would show her how healthy and happy she is. I love you Bizunesh!! Thank you for entrusting me with the baby you gave birth to, to allow me to be her Mommy. I will never forget that 6 months ago today, I asked you what you wanted us to call you. And when I asked if you wanted to be called birth mother you said. "No, I am Bizunesh. You are her Mother" I love you, pray for you, and Selamnesh has her own name for you. We look at this picture of you above her crib every night and give you a kiss.




Look at this Ethiopian Princess!! I am planning an Ethiopian Princess party for Selamnesh's 2nd Birthday!! I had to make some alterations to the dress. She loves it!! She wanted to wear her pretty shoes to bed tonight!! It's so hard to tell her she can't....... She is a princess.........





Classic Selamnesh.... In her princess dress, crawling into and sitting in the dog's crate!! Jacques is such a great dog!! Annoying, but a great dog!! He hates it,but does nothing about it, but almost daily she climbs in, and closes the door, sometimes she can get the door closed before he slips in, but usually he is too fast for her.
