We went to the snow one day...and that went very nicely. We all enjoyed it!
Matching Oregon Duck jerseys, gifts from Jackson and Miranda.
And we've played some foosball (among other games).
Most of us (those who don't surrender 8-2 leads) enjoy that!
Eliyas cheered on the Huskies against Alabama....
It was a quiet and understated cheering.
They both started back to school, and that has gone pretty well. We've socialized with lots of families/kids, some from school, some not. He's jumped right in with that.
We also went to a party for Orthodox Christmas, where we met several other families with Ethiopian adoptees. They reported some of their difficulties upon their return. One father said their two daughters didn't speak at home for two weeks. No words--except at school--for two weeks. Eliyas has periods (up to an hour or two) like that....Maybe 3 or 4 in the 18 days we've been home. So, pretty good, really. He's spirited, expressive and fun...and he hangs in there with Peter. If you know Peter, you know that's something!
