Berhanu and Ephraim are in the house!

Ephraim and Berhanu arrivied safely on Monday night, thank the Lord. Jamie Waldron who lived in Ethiopia with us for three years and Hope Terkuerst our summer Ethiopian daughter joined our family in welcoming the boys from Addis to Charlotte. Our first stop was Chick Fila Arboretum where owner Art Terkuerst treated the guys to their first meal which included a "to die for" cookies and cream milkshake. The welcome "committee" for our Sports Friends Ethiopian leaders grew as the Hardings, Lloyds, Kuykendalls, John Sterrett and Art joined us at Chick Fila.

We reached home close to 9pm and I couldn't resist having fun with Ephraim. As we entered the driveway I told him if he clutched my right hand when we got close to the house the garage door would go up. Sure enough it did...imagine that. He was startled and amazed. He hit the sack around 10pm and wasn't seen until 10 the next morning...he was exhausted! It's so awesome to have these guys here.
