Home at Last

We are finally home!! After 25 hours from when we got up on Sunday to when we walked in our door(with only a few hours sleep on the plane) we got to hug our kids, see their smiles and sleep in our own bed!!!!!!!!!! Our plan was to sleep as long as possible but at about 5:30 am our littlest one woke up and was sick and we know a Mom's job is never done. I have to laugh because everyone is back to sleep , except Russ and I! Oh well, thankfully it is a holiday and we have no plans but to get out the gifts for the kids.

We want to thank all of you who have left such encouraging notes and prayers. We are very blessed by such great support. We feel very optimistic that things will be resolved and these precious ones we have began to fall in love with will be ours soon. But we know that God's ways are best and we have to leave it in His hands and lean on Him.

We have a busy week ahead with a birthday for one of our boys tomorrow(HAPPY BIRTHDAY D!), games and the end of school( it will be great to have my kids home all day! You almost do not realize how much you miss them until you see them again). Getting back in a routine will be nice and will hopefully make the time go by quickly.

We will update you as soon as we hear something. I want to mention a very special thank you to my parents for taking on 3 kids and all the crazy things that go with it( including TWO illnesses while we were gone). It can be tiring when you are used to it so I know that they will probably sleep for the next week. You two are wonderful!

May God bless you all and pour out special blessings for your loving support!
