We were told that "institutional" delays are common in babies that have spent time in orphanages. We fully expected to see some things pop up when we brought Grace home from Ethiopia. To this point, I can honestly say that she does not appear to have ANY physical delays. Walking at 11 months old seems to prove that!!
Here's Proof!!

- I am the wife to a wonderful man named Will, and Mom to 5 amazing kids. Both Will and I were widowed before we met. We had 3 children between us when we married. We welcomed a new addition 1 1/2 years later. The pregnancy and birth were wild, so we decided to be "done". God had a different plan. We were introduced to international adoption, and started that process 11/04. We brought our 5th child home from Ethiopia 4/06. You could say our kids are Your's, Mine, Our's and Someone Else's. 8^) We are just grateful that they are all OUR'S! Someday, we will adopt from Ethiopia again. We know there is an "older child" that is meant to be part of our family. We trust that God will let us know when the time is right. Parenting is the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever taken on. I am not an expert, but I'm happy to share any insights I gain along the way. I also appreciate any tips I can glean from my readers. After all, it takes a village, right?!

Priceless!
I love these videos of your kids! Grace is darling, and I love watching your son inch his way down the water slide. Very funny.

How adorable! I love that toddle-toddle-plop stage!
I can't believe she is walking already! They grow up so fast.
Too cute!
