After a nine day trip to Ethiopia, we arrived back in Seattle this past Saturday. A journey that has taken us to the end of ourselves in many ways - a journey to once again recognize God's provision and goodness. Paradoxically, we feel spent and yet so filled.
It has taken us a few days to get our bearings as we have been quite tired readjusting to our time zone coupled with an intense week of little sleep and now adjusting to infants and their idea of sleep and wake time. On the whole, we are doing well and are so blessed to have the added help from our girls who are reveling in the new additions to our family.
Here's a few pics from the journey - from Addis to Seattle.
Play time at the guest house.
Fun times in the "rainbow room" at the House of Hope.
Play time on the airplane in the bassinet.
The girls made a welcome home banner and even lined the entrance into our neighborhood with pink and blue balloons.
God is good.
This post brought tears of joy to my eyes. We are so happy for you all; God has done such a great thing. We'll be praying that everyone adjusts quickly.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I love the pictures with each of the girls. Even Maggie looks happy. :) I told your adoption story to encourage another family who is waiting for a child from Africa. The Lord is using your adoption to further His glory in the lives of others. God bless you Turner Family.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how much they have grown in the last two months!! Love this post of them with their sisters. What a blessing to see how God has completed your journey to your babies. Now to let your REAL journey begin!! :)
