Things We Miss and Things We'll Miss

Things we miss about home:
Child restraint systems, all types (highchairs, carseats, strollers, walkers, bouncy chairs, etc.)
The little park, crappy as it is, and all the rockin' ladies in it
Evan's Scuut
Our Sonicares
Separate rooms so they can sleep and we don't have too.
Direct TV and Tivo
COLE COLE COLE!
Legos
Reliable To-Go coffee
All of our friends
Our kitties
Our own beds
Our washing machine
A routine
Cheap long distance
Cheap internet

Thins we don't want to forget about Ethiopia:
The faces of children in orphanages
The friendliness of the people
The food!
The coffee
The families we've met here
The awesomeness of Travis, Joanna, Ryan, Abbey, Belay, and Tafesse, all dedicating their lives (or at least many years of their lives) to helping the orphans of Ethiopia
The beautiful countryside

Things I DO want to forget about Ethiopia:
The gasoline smell when out in town!
The fact that the hotel playground that doesn't open until 10am.
The taxes!

Things I learned on this trip:
Jetlag sucks
Jetlag with a 3-year-old REALLY sucks
Swimming with babies isn't actually any fun, no matter how cute their swimsuit
