We've met Mason!!

I know you all are dying to hear news. It is Saturday morning here in Ethiopia and we spent several hours with him yesterday. He is beautiful!! We are so impressed with the care center and the nannies just love the babies. We walked in with the 6 other families in our travel group and they introduced us to our kids one by one. We recognized Mason as soon as they brought him down the stairs. He has a little hair and eyes that are captivating. He went back and forth between wanting to sit with us and wanting to return to the nanny. But he is smiley and playful and became more comfortable with us as the day went on. You'll see pics hopefully in a couple of days if I can post them. Internet is sketchy at best.
Our flight was fine and uneventful. We met up with some of our travel group in Amsterdam so that was fun. Today, we will see Mason again and then go to the museum to see "Lucy" and on to a traditional Ethiopian dinner. The people are kind and curious. The level of poverty and homelessness here is profound and heartbreaking. You really can't comprehend it without seeing it. It is very difficult to say no the children begging or anyone begging for that matter. I better go, you never know when the power will go out or internet will drop. I'll post again when I can. Love to all of you..........
