Catching Up

Hello Everyone,

Sorry we have not blogged since getting home but we have been non-stop. We arrived home last Friday night. We spent Saturday catching up on rest and enjoying all the many blessings that our family and friends have blessed us with. I will add some pics later but the boys room looks great. Well, it did when we got home. There was a closet full of toys and a back yard full. Oh and under the bed and in bins. The boys were overwhelmed and have never seen so many toys in their life. Thanks Grandma! Their favorite is the trampoline and their bicycles.

They also have a closet full of clothes and shoes. Thanks Meme! Our boys will never have to wear the same clothes over and over again. They look so cute in all their outfits.

They are discovering new foods everyday. Thank goodness they love chips-n-salsa, mexican rice, dill pickles, popeyes chicken, coleslaw, mashed potatoes and corn. We had biscuits with apple jelly and they still like scrambled eggs. We are trying not to give them so much juice. They are also eating plenty of fruit.

We have found a daycare and they will start once we get their blue slip showing they have had all necessary imunizations. We are still trying to catch our breathe. We have taken the boys to Wal-mart and Dollar General. They also went to church last Sunday. It was a wonderful homecoming. They sung "I am a Friend of God" and Micah sang right along while raising his hand. Luke was very curious about all that was going on. We had a great lunch afterwards and thanks to Rick and Teri for the spiderman toys. Luke loves Spiderman.

Well, it's getting late and I'm learning that when the boys are sleeping we need to sleep. I'm hoping to go back to work late next week or by next Monday. James is going back this Monday. Thanks B&B for all your support!

We also want to take this time to thank everyone for all your prayers and donations. Thanks to our church family for your support and a great welcome home party. Thanks Debra Holbrook, we love you!! A special thanks to our Moms and Chris Gann for all your hard work at the house. Everything looks great! Thanks Sister Kathy, Miss Margie and Martha for your daily comments while we were in Ukraine. Thanks Lifeline for all your help. Jana and Donna we love you!

We will try not to wait too long to post again. I'll have to share our pics of the boys in their Sunday best and the first time they ate jello.

Thanks for an update on the boys. Seeing them in person was so great. They are so precious. I know they feel the love around them, I can see it on their faces.

LOVE YOU BUNCHES

Well I am glad you are going to continue to blog for awhile. I can hardly wait to meet the boys and to give you both a welcome home hug. It is so wonderful to hear how the boys are adapting to home. Isn't that a nice word --home. Take care and I hope to see you soon.

I had been watching to see if you would blog again!! Talked to mom today and she lets me in on the latest and greatest news - - a new blog!! A couple of folks had seen the new pictures - - mom was a loving it.
I love having those babies in church!! Watching them sing and worship is so precious. There is not anything more wonderful than getting to raise your children in the atmosphere of worship to the Lord! We know that that's one thing that will keep them thru their whole lives - - a relationship with God - - It's the one true thing that will sustain us thru anything!!
Love ya
Kathy
