What a day

It has been a whirlwind of a day.

First, safe travels to my friend Theresa. She is on her way to pick up her sweet daughter the fabulous Miss Orange in Ethiopia.

Second, HUGE congrats to my friend Rachel and her family for passing court in Ethiopia.

And then in our news, Kiya's blood tests for Hepatitis C came back NEGATIVE :) We are so thrilled that she is still testing negative for the disease. And it gets better, the doctor said we will repeat blood work in 1 year. No more blood tests at least for awhile :)

After I got this fabulous news, I went and ordered Kiya's birthday cake. It is set to be picked up on Wednesday. Also being picked up on Wednesday are balloons or boons as we like to call them. (If you haven't read the Belly Button book it is a must).

This weekend brings lots of things to do. Some friends are moving to Tennessee after the holidays so we are going out for Ethiopian food before they leave. We will miss them for sure. Dave is off to the Packer game on Sunday and then we have to go grocery shopping for Thanksgiving which is a HUGE task.

For now I am hoping to catch a little nap if Kiya naps that is....
