AWAA Ohio family gathering

Yesterday we were invited to join all the other Ohio America World families adopting from Ethiopia. We were delighted to meet the Richardsons, the Lows, the Harbaughs, the Mozombites and the Gomez family. We met up at a park in Columbus and then made our way to the Blue Nile for an Ethiopian feast together. It was nice to put faces to the names of all the people we've met through our Yahoo group and their blogs and to be surrounded by people who "get it". Most of these families are much farther along in the process (and one family is already home with their kids) so it will be exciting to follow along with them as they bring their sons home. All of us are awaiting referrals for sons! We laughed at the idea of how busy our get together will be next year with 4 more baby boys running around. We can't wait for that to be true.

Thanks to Kristy and Julia for organizing. We look forward to gathering with these families again soon!
