Home Sweet Home









Home is sometimes my favorite place! In the presence of my family is always where I wish to be.

I had promised a family picture. Promise broken for now... the reality is that each attempt ending with someone crying. Notice the picture of the kids. Olivia is wailing and Tian is scratching a mosquito bite, and that's the best that we can do right now.

Jet lag, sibling rivalry, selfishness, and reality checks are real! We are battling each so your prayers are always appreciated.
We are, however, incredibly overjoyed in the happy moments. Yesterday I delighted in squeals that ruminated throughout the house. Hannah and Tian were chasing one another during a silly made-up game. Sweet kisses initiated by each of us are shared at random. Wrestling is a given when Daddy is around. Smiles and giggles are just as prevalent as tears and whimpers. Life is good; God is faithful! And, I'm sure that Mommy will often need Calgon and a back rub!

  3. Welcome home! I'm sure you'll get that happy family picture soon enough---or maybe not. I admit that it takes a lot of work to get a good family picture with 3 kids! :)
