TEFF at the Pumpkin Patch!

Teff, for those who aren't steeped in Ethiopian information, is the grain that is used to make injera- the ubiquitous bread that is used to scoop up delicious Ethiopian food.  But in this case T.E.F.F. stands for Tulsa Ethiopian Family Fun!  It's the cheesy acronym that I made up when I planned a visit to the Pumpkin Patch for the ET adoptive families in our area!  I may be the only person calling our group "TEFF" at this point, but I'm gonna keep saying it until it catches on!  Because, who doesn't love cheese???  ;-)

So, yes, there were many adorable Ethiopian kids at the Pumpkin Patch last Sunday... but to get all these kids organized to take a group photo while climbing/sitting/standing/falling on a big pile of pumpkins was nearly impossible.  Here are a few of our efforts:

Attempt #1

Attempt #2

Attempt #3

Yeah, so the group photo?  Not so much.  But we had lots of fun and got lots of other fun shots!

Avé and her beautiful ET Princess friend Sakari.

I hope those 2 girls will be BFFs forever!  

And this WOULD be my new fav family photo if Ben wasn't pouting b/c I wouldn't let him stand in line for 45 minutes to buy a pumpkin that he fell in love with.  :-/  'Cause I'm just mean like that.
