http://ethiopiaboundexpats.blogspot.com/2009/11/15-months-preggars-and-tv.html
CLICK HERE FOR BLOGGER TEMPLATES. Sunday, November 15, 2009. 15 months preggars and TV. New friend M, from IAG, recently found out that they didn't pass court, and it was re-scheduled for Dec. 11 (30 days later, which is now the norm). An extra month of waiting is an eternity. I was trying to help her think of ideas to help the time pass quickly, and she reminded me of my very favorite: television! How I met your Mother. This show is so frickin' funny. A bunch of my students watch it, so I am pro...For a...

CLICK HERE FOR BLOGGER TEMPLATES. Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Oh Hail the Mighty State. Since we have a week off (again! I also ordered our criminal history checks from OSBI (Oklahoma) yesterday, and performed a check on myself from the Great State of Texas. Yes, Texas knows what they're doing. Everything online! And that is why I am still proud to call myself a Texan. It was clean, btw. Posted by Lindsay Lyon. Thursday, January 15, 2009. By Lois Ruskai Melina. In the beginning she advises to "Have fa...

Ethiopia Bound Expats: October 2009
http://ethiopiaboundexpats.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
CLICK HERE FOR BLOGGER TEMPLATES. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Why are you adopting? But, throughout this process, I've learned that they really are two different ball games. Sure, they're both hard, exhausting, trying, exciting, emotional roller coasters, etc., but there are big differences. After Abrehet's death, we asked this question- why are we doing this to ourselves? As most do after a tragedy. Hard to fathom at this point. Posted by Lindsay Lyon. Saturday, October 17, 2009.

We have no details other than it was completely unexpected and sudden. We are so very sad. Posted by Lindsay Lyon. Monday, September 28, 2009. She has a name! But, I still cannot announce it to the world, as we still need to tell some key people. Two other huge events to note this week: 1. courts re-open on Oct.1st (hurray! So, it proves to be a fantastic we...

Why Ethiopia? | Ethiopiaboundexpats's Blog
https://ethiopiaboundexpats.wordpress.com/why-ethiopia
Just another WordPress.com weblog. December 12, 2009. Here are some of the reasons we chose Ethiopia:. 4 million children are orphaned in Ethiopia, nearly 1 million by AIDS. 1 in 5 children dies before the age of 2. There are 3 doctors for every 100,000 people in Ethiopia. Half of Ethiopia’s children under the age of 5 are malnourished. Only 18% of children reach 5th grade. Fewer than 1 in 4 Ethiopians have access to clean drinking water. The average life expectancy in Ethiopia is just 46 years.
