Hubs: Sitting by me on the rollercoaster for nine years
Samantha: My girly girl. Lover of pink, singing, imagination queen and leader of the pack.
Tsega: Determined, Houdinieque, relentless drooler, smart as a whip, home by way of Ethiopia 2010
Cookie Monster: Loves Dinosaurs, Lemurs, Impalas, pears and does not mess around when it comes to cookies. My oldest boy is a snuggle bunny in disguise.
Brady: My preemie. Born at 28 weeks, he is a lover and a fighter and working hard to catch up. You won't notice any delays when you hand him a baseball bat.
Fikir (means love in Amharic) joined our family Fall of 2012 from Ethiopia. May be able to beat the entire family arm wrestling.
Mimi, the oldest, adventurous and nurturing, joined our family from Ethiopia Fall of 2012. Surprises me every day.
