So seriously, what on earth have I been doing? My mom used to say growing up that being a stay at home mom was more than eating Bonbons and watching soap operas, and she is right. I feel like I do so much more than that right now (though a day of soap operas and chocolate really doesn't sound disgusting to me at this point).
My house is never clean, the laundry is never done, my to-do list seems to grow rather than shrink and there just aren't ever enough hours in the day.
But we are happy.
God showed up in a BIG way during our 7 weeks in Africa, and I can't wait to tell you all about it....when I have an extra 3 seconds. For right now, I will have to let pictures of our family suffice.
Lets just say life is hard, easy, happy, and crazy right now. Our Essie is home forever and we (okay God) ended the race God gave us!
Like I said, I will be back to blogging about orphans, and adoption, and chocolate sometime in the near future. But for the non Facebook users out there, here is a our story in a photo recap!
I am not even sure how this is possible, but we have been home for OVER A MONTH! WHAT! Where has the time gone?
Waiting to meet Sissy.
First seconds meeting daddy.
Safe in Dads arms.
Besties.
I love this place. Seriously.
On a tour of the Bugandan palace.
Grocery store.
Beautiful Lake Victoria. Also the source of the Nile.
Our dear friends.
The skies in Uganda are unreal.
On an afternoon stroll.
The Nile. It's as awesome as you think and then some.
Boating around!
Boda Boda.
Home for Christmas! Okay, that's true. But we had Christmas round 2 in March!
Arcade time.
First trip to the Library.
First time playing in the snow.
Home for Easter, FOR REAL!
Snuggling.
These two are ALWAYS dressing up.
Baby girl got that right! LOVE makes a family.
Can I give you all a hug! Seriously, we would NOT BE HOME WITHOUT YOU! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU! God moved some SERIOUS mountains during our time in Africa, and we are forever changed because of it. I just can't wait to tell you all about it, but its 1:30 and I haven't showered yet. So for the sake of my children and husband I better leave you hanging for a little bit longer.
For those local to the area, we are giving a summary of our journey on April 22nd 2013 at Living Stones Reno at 445 S Virginia St Reno, NV 89501 at 6:30 pm. We will be providing pizza, anyone and EVERYONE is welcome to come! We REALLY hope to see you guys there!
MUCH, MUCH love to you all!
-TeJay, Ashleigh, Eva and Esther
Home forever as a family March 9th 2013th.
GOTCHA!
