I had better get this up. The family is clamoring for video and pictures of Jonas. Here's video of the first day we met Jonas in Addis.

Yup, I am totally crying. So moving. He is special, you all are special. Lots of love to you all and thanks for sharing. Yes, I went frame by frame becasue I still can't get it to play. Took a lot more than 2 minutes to see my way! And DUSTIN was super cute in his first interactions with his new son! So cute.
oh, crying here too. so excited, I still cannot believe it!!! I remember near the start of your journey, it seems so long ago and all the wait is washed away while you hold your little guy, you did it!!!!!!!
Love Kim
Jonas is beautiful. You are blessed.
Happy New Year,
Julie
I was crying too as I watched this! Since we weren't in the van with you at the gate, it was sooo great to get to see the anticipation and joy in your faces then and as you met Jonas. I continue to think of you and pray for you my friend as you all adjust and get healthy! It was a JOY to travel with you and Dustin. We love and appreciate you guys!!!

This is so amazing. I have enjoyed watching your adoption journey through your blog. I have passed it on to some friends who are beginning their journey of adopting from Ethiopia. I look forward to hearing more about Jonas and your family. God Bless you all and Happy New Year!
What a beautiful child! I just know your hearts are full beyond measure. Those of us watching are simply captivated by God's goodness, and the power of love!
Be blessed,
Kathleen
He is absolutely adorable. I can only imagine how fast your heart must have been beating pulling up to the gate to meet your son for the first time. Thanks for sharing!
