Last week we had a break from school so we took advantage by doing nothing at all. We had originally planned to go down to Omo for our break, but our car ended up not coming in time so we weren't able to go. Instead, Caleb spent most of the week clearing our car from customs (successfully!--pictures to follow) and we took a day to go to an insanely fancy hotel here in Addis to swim for the day. It was a perfect day. We went into it thinking our kids wouldn't last more than an hour or two, but it was after a full day that we finally bribed them out of the pool with a promise of ice cream. (Bribes work--especially of the sweet variety. Don't judge, you know you've done it, too.) Here's a picture of the four of us enjoying the Addis sunshine and the warm water:
You guys are SUCH a beautiful family! That looks like SO much fun!!!
ReplyDeleteHi there. Joanna, on a video I watched I heard you say you are from a small town near Seattle. I am from Everett/Marysville and am now an Associate Pastor at First Reformed Church in Fulton, Illinois. What small town are you from? Just curious.
