ET???
Well, it seems I have created a bit of confusion and controversy with the name for the blog. My husband and son won't let me live it down. I can see why.
An explanation: ET is a commonly used abbreviation for Ethiopia. I was trying to use a play on words with the classic unforgettable line "ET go home" from E.T. the movie. By playing off the phrase but meaning EThiopia I was trying to make something catchy, something that was memorable but also meaningful. I meant that we are bringing "Ethiopia" home, a little bit of Ethiopia: a child, but also a culture, a responsibility to help in the future. In no way did I mean that our new little daughter is an alien or extraterrestrial! I guess naming her Elliott is right out then?
Also, in our home, Home Depot is referred to as Home "Despot" as my husband thinks it rules his life. Go figure! Sometimes keeping three houses up does take its toll.
Truth is we are now in the "waiting time" and this helps me do something while I wait. It also puts answers to some common questions all in one place. I can also use some of this in her Lifebook, more on that later.
Enjoy Labor Day weekend!
