Maya is an amazing traveler. She basically slept the entire trip to and from to visit her grandma and great-grandma. We left last Tuesday am for my mom's and stayed two nights. We did break up the drive by stopping at my sister's for a few hours each way. Maya enjoyed getting out the car and playing for awhile. I was also able to feed her so it worked out for both of us. Maya did get to spend time with her Grandma Julie and Great-Grandma Clara. She also got to meet a few other people.
This past weekend Dave's family came to meet Maya. Dave's family had a celebration/shower for us yesterday. They did such an amazing job planning and decorating. We had a wonderful time visiting and got some great photos. Maya was a charmer and everyone fell in love. How could you not love Maya? She is so sweet, playful, and has the most amazing smile. Dave's family also watched the video that our adoption agency made. The video talked about Ethiopia as a country and then focused on Maya. Our agency is the only agency that we know of that puts together a video like this and we are so glad to have shared it with our family. We really feel is helps our family understand the country and the outstanding care the care center gives to all the children. We hope we can share it with more people down the road.
This morning Maya got professional photos taken. As always, she did amazing. We think we got some great photos and more than likely we have too many to choose from. I am so excited to see them. Hopefully we have a good photo for our Christmas cards :)
