Teodros (king of Ethiopia)

So, while in Addis Ababa we asked some questions about A*'s name and found out that it is rarely a name given as a forever name. We had wondered about this. Its customary for parents to give children a nickname when they are born and then only later give them the name they will be called by others.  We've had some time to think about him while strolling through Amsterdam and still really like the Ethiopian name Teodros.  We even met a Teodros while we were there.  The name means King of Ethiopia (there was a celebrated king in Ethiopia's history named Teodros or Tewodros.)  We found the name months ago and Its looking like it might end up what we will call him.  Teo for short!

We fly out tomorrow morning first thing and are ready to come home!  We've had a great trip and are ready and waiting for the next travel call to go get him!!!

See you all soon!
