Lovin' His "Ethiopia Clothes"

 One of the promises we made when we adopted Joshua Gebeyehu was to do everything we could to foster a feeling pride in his birth country.  Although we feel so proud of Joshua's Ethiopian heritage, it is sometimes challenging to help a little guy growing up in North Dakota feel connected to the culture of his birth.  (Adoptive friends, I would love suggestions!)

The one things that Joshua loves most about Ethiopia is "Ethiopia clothes!"  He has always felt so special when wearing traditional Ethiopian clothing.  It is really something to see the sparkle in his eyes when he wears his "Ethiopia clothes!"

For many months, we had a problem.  Our little Ethiopian had outgrown all of his Ethiopia clothes!   Thankfully, Kristen came to the rescue!  She brought our Joshua Gubs two super cute outfits which he was very excited to model!
