Meet Kaleb

Gotta post this picture of the newest member of our family. We have sent it to many of our family and friends, but you may not have seen it. This is Kaleb, the "little" guy our son Kevin and his wife Lori recently adopted from Ethiopia, our new grandson! He is estimated to be about 8 months old. Kaleb was left on the street and found by a policeman in Ethiopia, so his exact birth date is not known. "Kaleb the Ethiopian" will soon also become "Kaleb the Proud New American Citizen." Kevin and Lori have to go through a court proceeding here in the US for legal adoption and citizenship. Now he is the holder of a Green Card. Kev and Lori's other boys, Kaden and Oliver, love this little guy as a brother already. He is full of joy, with the biggest eyes you have ever seen. It's been a long process for Kevin and Lori, but they finally got it done. They came back from Ethiopia with their lives changed forever, in many, many ways. We were having lunch with our family at a sandwich shop when Kevin starting tossing Kaleb around and making him laugh. A flag was right behind him, and made for a couple of perfect pictures. I hope you can meet Kaleb soon.
