7 Months(!!!), Flashback Pics, & Summer Vacation!!!

I know I have been MIA, and I am SORRY!  I sincerely want to give you a detailed journal from every day on our second trip to Ethiopia (as well as record it for M&M's benefit)...but unlike last trip where I journaled at the end of every day...I haven't even WRITTEN it yet.  And in all honesty, I have been completely focused on bonding as a family.  I didn't want to be one of those people who abandoned my blog after I come home.  And I definitely don't intend for that to be the case.  But my family ALWAYS comes first, so I have decided to take a summer vacation from my blog.  After that, I will be back with all the details for you on how life is going as a family of four!  But before I do that, I have some pictures for you and a little celebration, because...

Our M&M turned 7 Months OLD this week!!!!!!

So in honor of this milestone, I am going to do a flashback of pictures from when we first saw our little princess to now....all except the one for 7 months were taken by HH/traveling AGCI families!
