I am beginning to catch my breath....adoption...adjusting... back to work... "retired" from teaching(for now)...home with the babes...enjoying the summer! I have so many things that I am thinking about, praying about and asking God for direction in and for. Ethiopia has been on my heart in so many ways. Some of you were so quick to write immediately about your thoughts and experiences along the way to your children. Me...I guess I am slow that way and I am poor at capturing my thoughts and putting them into the written word. Thankful beyond measure and really want to write about the journey to our beautiful daughters. I am not giving any promises but I am going to try to write about what is on my heart. Thank you to the one or two readers...I really have nothing to give you but who I really am. I am not funny or eloquent...and certainly not timely in my posts. I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, niece, cousin, aunt and teacher...all of which I fail at every day. Saved by the grace of God and trying to live in light of the Gospel so that my children see the true redemption of their souls does not rest in what they do but who they are in Christ. Here is a picture from July 4th...my how they have grown:)

BLESSED!
I will come back to this another day...but have been thinking so much about all of the people that God has blessed us with over the years and has used to bless our daughters. We had our first night out together and I have to say it was a little strange at first. I was an absolute nut about preparing for the babysitter. I am all about good snacks for the babysitter...don't you remember the houses with the good snacks? Well, we had a wonderful time catching up with so many friends that we have not seen since we have returned home. Our first babysitter was one of my dearest friend's daughter. I knew that they were in good hands. I am really not good about recording special moments but this is one that I am glad that I captured. Thank you Lord for all of the precious people that you have given us to call friends and brothers/sisters in Christ.
