I have been married almost 15 years to my husband. We have five children with our 5th adopted in March of 2008. My husband is Ethiopian by decent and well I am... not Ethiopian -- only by taste buds! I taught school for 13 years and am now into the business of selling houses.
Selah often means to rest. It also means to take measure of the meaning of what has been said. We are attempting to measure and take in all that we have learned in this journey to our new son from Ethiopia. God has truly blessed us! We have treasured the love and support of friends and family during this process. We can never thank you enough. This blog is to help document our journey to Malachi and help us to remember each moment.
Our dear friend Andrea had been telling us she would take our family picture now that Malachi is home. So we set a date thinking we would just smile, click and be done. It turned out that we got over 100 photos and she took a walk with us for almost two hours down the Portland eastside esplanade. We had no idea what we were in for or how much fun we would have. She captured our kids in ways that pictures have not done before. Thank you dear friend Andrea!!!! and to Rich for watching the kids so you could get away for a bit.
Oh my goodness - these are WONDERFUL!! If I didn't know you I wouldn't believe these were real people and not models. So sad your family is uniformly unattractive. Really! :-)

How did you get two hours on the esplanade with NO RAIN! :)

Does she have a business, because if she doesn't, she should - huge talent!!
Happy blog anniversary!! If my memory is right today is the day you started yours (and I started mine) exactly a year ago.
So many changes, eh?
