Ava and the girls

Ava is my super wonderful niece and we had a fun girl weekend together. In short we...went to the Jonas Brothers movie, petsmart, walmart (to buy the Jonas CD), got our nails painted, went to a pancake party, went to the dog park, went to the animal emergency hospital (twice), ate coconut creme pie and met the GIRLS. I just loved seeing Ava with Sentayehu and Mimi and can just imagine all the girls hangin together. We want you to hurry up LT :)

Flag Meaning:

The colored stripes on the Ethiopian flag are significant - the red stripe stands for power, faith and blood; the yellow symbolizes peace, natural wealth and love; and the green represents the land and hope. The colors were also interpreted to have a connection to the Holy Trinity, and the three main provinces of Ethiopia. The star represents unity of the people and the races that make up Ethiopia. The five rays on the outside of the star represent prosperity and the blue disk represents peace.
The three equal horizontal bands of green (top), yellow, and red with a yellow pentagram and single yellow rays emanating from the angles between the points on a light blue disk centered on the three bands; Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in Africa, and the three main colors of her flag were so often adopted by other African countries upon independence that they became known as the pan-African colors.
