We're home.....together.....as a family of four....but if you had to rely on this blog for that information, you'd never know it! So sorry our blog has been offline....we've been busy with the business of being busy! And I honestly feel like I don't know what to write....or how to say it.....and it is wonderful, and delightful, and a blessing beyond measure to have Ruslan home. But it is also exhausting keeping up with our new normal!
Our gratitude runs deep and far and wide, and it seems there will never be enough ways to say thank you. Our hearts are so full with the every day moments that take our breath away, and it sometimes seems there is no adequate way to describe them or revisit them in writing.
And we've got ten years to catch up with for Ruslan....he keeps us busy, engaged, and on our toes! (And we love and are grateful for each moment!)
With Bill's shift schedule, the kids' school schedules, me working full time, etc....our family time is very limited and precious.....so we're pretty greedy with it right now....because we need to be....for Ruslan....for Mason....for us.
Along the way, we are praising God for the blessing of raising this beautiful boy. For the blessing of a family that is loving and learning and growing together. For the blessing of the village of people who chose to be the hands and feet of Jesus to help us bring Ruslan home, and who continue to love us, and him.
I'm sure I'll start blogging again. What isn't flowing freely from my pen right now is surely flowing freely from my heart....a love that is unconditional, unwavering, unparalleled and forever. That's something worth writing about! Stay tuned.....hoping to be back to writing
