Geremu and Belachew together again- 2010

The weekend following the boys' birthday celebration, some friends invited us to use their lakehouse in Michigan. We were excited for the opportunity to get away as a family. We asked Geremu's family to join us. The took the ferry from Wisconsin across Lake Michigan and joined us for a couple days.

The lakehouse was wonderful and the weather was perfect. It was Hudson's first beach experience and although he was a bit unsure at first, he quickly began to enjoy playing in the sand and water.

Belachew and Geremu were very close friends in Ethiopia. They are from the same part of the country and lived together in the care center for several months. They have a special bond and it is so great to see them together. The boys had a blast together and it is always sad to say good-bye. We look forward to many more opportunities to get these boys together over the years.
