Introducing MEAZA!!!! (Ethiopia Embassy Trip Day 5)

The day is FINALLY here!!!!  We have completed our embassy process and can officially introduce Meaza (pronouced Meeeyazah)!!

This morning we woke up early to get ready to go to embassy.  Meaza woke up with a big smile on her face.  I think she knew that today was an important day!!!  We had breakfast and headed out into some crazy traffic to the embassy.  The process there was almost identical to what we had to do with Nicolas in South Africa.  We had to wait outside for a few minutes, then went through security and waited to be called to sign our last few documents to receive her visa.  It was fairly quick and very simple, then we headed back the guest house.  Last step to bring her home DONE!!!!! :) YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Once we were back to the guest house Meaza had some lunch and we played.  She was still a little fussy, so we made a little more formula and that put her into a food coma.  I went to lay her down in the crib and the board in the bottom fell down on one side!  Thankfully, I was right there and I picked her right back up without her even rousing - so sleepy!  We grabbed a crib from one of the other rooms and made it up for her.  What is a trip to Ethiopia without a little adventure? :-)

It's just after 1:30 here, so we're about to have lunch, but I wanted to share pictures!  Here are a few more:
