out and about

Yesterday we attended an Anglican church with Andy and Bev Warren, who have been are living in Ethiopia and serving with Mission to the World and SIM.  We then went to lunch with the Warrens and some visiting doctors from Yale.  Hudson did great during his first church service. 
 
Today we visited the orphanage in Addis where Hudson stayed for a few weeks and took some donations and said good-bye to his nannies.  We went shopping this afternoon.  I will spend some time visiting with friends and with the Bethany Christian Services office this week.  On Thursday we have our US Embassy interview.  On Friday, we'll travel to the orphanage in Nazret (a couple hours south) where Hudson spent most of his life and then start our journey home that night. 
 
We are really enjoying our time in Ethiopia.  I miss Paul and Belachew, of course, and am looking forward to getting Hudson home and settled.  Hudson is doing great!  He is eating well and his energy level has increased a lot.  He loves cheerios and bananas.  He smiles a lot and we've gotten some laughs out of him. 
 
I will not have much internet access the rest of my time here, so this may be one of my last posts.  Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers and I look forward to introducing Hudson Muse to our family and friends.
