WE ARE HOME

We made it home early Sunday evening. The flight and all the travel hoops were beyond exhausting. (I remembered half way through the flight home why I said last time I was never going to China again!) Drew and Luke never slept at the same time on the flights so that made for one very tired mommy by the time we got home. We were met by a huge group of our family and friends. It was so wonderful to see everyone after such a long time away. All 3 of the girls grew while I was gone and they all looked older. We came home to a nice pizza party, cake and family and friends. It does not get much better.

Drew took to Matt and the girls right away. He has blended into the family beautifully. The five kids are having a good time together. Really, it is like he has always been here. Drew is doing a good job eating...he even ate pot roast! Luke, Drew and I are still pretty jet lagged, but it is getting better every day.

I came home to the wonderful surprise of a door and wall added to our loft bedroom. Thanks to my dear husband Matt, father-in-law, father, uncle Jerry, my brother and lots of other folks who made it a reality. We now have a bedroom with a door that closes! Yipeee!!

Thanks so much for following our journey and for all your prayers. I'll be back to regular blogging soon at joyfullybusy.blogspot.com.



Philippians 4: 6-8 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
