Tractors and Grandparents



We traveled north for the first time since we brought Teferi home and made our way to Grandma and Grandpa Goos' house. OHHHHH - what an adventure. Teferi was very impressed with Granpa's tractors and even claimed one as his own :) Tractors and combines are a whole new experience for him and he loved these big beasts. Grandpa gave both T a
B tractor rides and they both loved them. Bailey and Teferi were checking out the wheat field and they had her first lesson on where flour comes from (at least in the US - Ethiopia uses a small grain called Teff.) Grandma took some great pictures of them next to the field.
T & B also got to meet Grandma and Grandpa Reeves and Great Grandma Amelia, along with many other friends. It was such an exciting weekend, the kids certainly did not want to come back home.
We are enjoying our last little bit of summer before school starts next week. B will start 1st grade on Tuesday and T will start Preschool on Wednesday. I will be going with him to preschool for the first two weeks of school - we just want to make sure that he is comfortable and that his needs are being met. I am really kind of excited about being in the preschool class room - it will be so different then working with the high school kids (but yet amazingly the same in some respects :))
I will have to update more later -
Happy Fall,
K

  1. Hi Scott, Katrina, Bailey and Teferi! I finally got a chance to view your blog spot and I was so thrilled that I did. Mad at myself that I let time get away from me. What a wonderful and exciting adventure you all have been on. I miss you all bunches, but understand this journey is slow and sometimes delicate. Hope to see you soon. God bless and keep you all happy and healthy. Love, Janet
