Elias Sime & Friends!!!


Yesterday I was fortunate enough (thanks sweetie) to sneak away from work and my kiddos to enjoy a fun day with H & some new friends. We went to see the art exhibit where we met the Ethiopian artist Elias Sime... he is Ah-Mazing!!! All of his pieces were made with found materials it was incredible. And, did you read we were able to actually meet him... wowza!!! You can read more about Elias here... and you will notice I stole one of the above pics from Kat (thank you!!).

I had so much fun meeting the other adoptive and prospective adoptive parents (AP's and PAP's in the adoption world). Kat showed us around Little Ethiopia in LA and we were able to eat a traditional ethiopian meal at Messob. It looks a little funky yes, but it is delicious... mmmm!!! I can't wait to go back a group of AP's and PAP's meet there monthly to let the kids play and the adults chat... sounds like a good time to me.

On the adoption front Hubby and I have now been LiveScanned (basically lots of fingerprints) so were are dwindling the long list of paperwork to do's off our home study list... and we should be receiving the instructions for our dossier next week!!!

(Oh... the shoeless pic is b/c Tom's Shoes had a day without shoes yesterday)
