Before leaving for Ethiopia a couple weeks ago, Joanna's grandpa became increasingly ill. As we arrived at the airport in Detroit this past Saturday, we learned from our family that grandpa had passed away just moments before. Maybe he was waiting for us to be safely home before passing.
We hope that Taye will have a special connection to these fantastic great-grandparents that he never met. And we know that grandma and grandpa love our new little boy and our entire family very much. We'll miss you grandpa.

What a precious and timeless picture!
Thanks for blogging your daily activities in ET. Your boys are beautiful and glad you are all home safe.
When you get a chance, I'd love to connect with you via email and ask you a few questions about your 2nd time around trip.
Get some rest, take it easy and enjoy your new family addition!
