What to hope for...

I am writing this post with a grin on my face as it has been such a hectic... unbelievably crazy week. From wrapping things up with the repairs on the houses, to signing for the land we will build on, to packing... and on top of that, Malaki and I have had a mean cold. To say the least, its been crazy, but we remain with so much anticipation in our hearts to return to the US to visit all our family and friends. .

We had friends come visit a short time back and she told me... just a mommas luck that right when its time to fly around the world to visit the family... their babies are teething. Thank you Sara for the heads up...! Malaki is usually a really happy baby with a sense of humor just like his Papi; although for the last 2 days "he has been crying a cry he has never cried before!" Pretty sure those nice strong teeth of his are making their entrance. The interesting thing is, he's fussy all day except for when I put him on my back. Really, he loves it and feels close, calm and collected. Now the question is, walking through Washington Dulles International Airport will I give him the comforting possibility to go on my back.... I could only imagine the commotion it would stir! haha. We will see. Oh, the differences in cultures around the world! We will be flying from Wednesday at 2:45 p.m. until Thursday night. Excited for Malaki to get a small glimpse of Rwanda, Ethiopia, Rome and the US... All our love...
