My band at practice.....






Resting after a long session....March, 2006 

This is Grandpa Alemayehou and me at one of my favorite restaurants, Food Bar, where they have the best pancakes.  

This is Aunty Medina and me. She was once crowned Ms. Senegal, my mommy calls her Queen. Can you blame her ? She now lives in Cameroon and we can't wait until she moves back.  

Aunty Liya and me last fall while all the leaves were the most beautiful color. I love picking up leaves in the fall but Mommy does not appreciate her car being a museum for my leaves.  

This is Joshua, who just moved from Hawaii to Ethiopia. This ohoto was taken in Hawaii, May 2005.  

This is the day I decided to paint my face with a green marker. You should have seen me before Mommy washed some of it off, I looked like incredible hulk.  

Daddy and I, November 2005. 

Haloween 2005. I dressed up as Spiderman and Mommy and Daddy tried to play along.

 

At six months....I started reading early....ohhh that hair....what was my mother thinking ??  

My first Birthday, oh how time flies.....now I am three.. 

This is my band ! Just drums..... 

This is one of my closest friends Xavier, he likes to play drums like me. He goes with me sometimes when I get my hair cut.  

This is my aunty Georgia who is always buying me stuff. She is the only one who calls me "Kobi"., so I started calling her Georgina which is what my mommy calls her !!  

This is my lovely aunt Franchone who recetnly visited me in Washington. She now lives in Benin so I don't get to see her as much.  

My cousin Ismael Madiaw and I taking a bath in Dakar, Senegal, July 2005. Ismael as you can see is a clown and likes to make funny faces 

In hawaii, May 2005. I spent my 3rd Birthday in Hawaii. The water was sooo blue...and the beaches were just great... very child friendly.....
