In case you didn't notice the side bar :-) Mike and I are excited to announce that soon we will be A Dozen Crooks! This spring we will welcome home baby Mahlia from Ethiopia. Mahlia was born October 5thth, 2008 in Hosana, Ethiopia and is currently residing at The Praise House in Addis Ababa. We hope to bring her home in April and are so looking forward to having a baby again. Its been a while :-) Due to Ethiopian Law we cannot post pictures of her until the adoption is final, but believe me she is beautiful!
