We are home. We are so thankful to be home.
Gabre Meti is doing better than we expected. She wants to party at 3 AM as she adjusts to the time frame and she has a horrific cold with double ear infections...and yet her smile still shines through.
Sarah Bess and Davis are also both doing very well...they are tired, they are adjusting...but their smiles also continue to light our day.
As anyone that has ever brought a child home knows, when a new family member enters chaos presents itself in some form. It doesn't matter how old the child is, if the child is biological or adopted, the first child or the tenth, what was previously the family unit, schedule and way of life has to change. The old 'normal' is gone and a new 'normal' must find its place.
So we are in the in-between. Our old normal is gone, our new normal not yet arrived. In these moments of in-between we are seeing so many blessings bestowed upon us.
We are blessed with wonderful friends and family, we are blessed with two incredible five year old children that are being terrific siblings, we are blessed with our church community to help in these initial days, and we are blessed with our newest angel. We are tired, there have been some tears, some moments are a struggle...but these blessings help our smiles shine through as we enjoy the in-between.
