For mother's day this year we celebrated by driving to the Twin Cities for lunch at an Ethiopian restaurant. This was our first experience with Ethiopian food. What better way to spend mother's day than by remembering and preparing for our sweet Ethiopian children to come! We ordered a large sampler platter for us all to share. They do not use silverware but instead use a large flat bread called injera for scooping food. I was really proud of Caleb and Sophie for trying most of what was on the platter. We all found things we liked and were able to distinguish what we didn't. We feel a bit more prepared for our next meal of Ethiopian food. Thankfully, they had chicken fingers on the menu so Levi didn't starve! Throughout the meal Levi would say (very sincerely) "These chicken fingers are sooo good! These are the best fries I've ever had!"
We also had a garage sale as our first adoption fundraiser. It was fairly successful. We simultaneously listed things on craigslist as well. Caleb, Sophie, and Levi sold cupcakes and lemonade to help bring their little brother/sister home! Dan ran most of the sale while I watched our little ones!
