Family returning from overseas

On march 16th, Tom's sister and her family came home from Russia. We were so excited to be able to meet them at chicago O' hare airport. For us, this was quite a treat since we hadn't seen our nieces and nephew for one and a half years. Their ages are 2, 6 and 8. I haven't gotten any of the pictures developed yet, but i will post some as soon as i do. They are so adorable. The kids were going crazy being here in America again. This is one area I do completely understand since I lived over in Russia for a while. Coming home is quite overwhelming at first including hearing all of the english being spoken at such a fast speed. Of course, the littlest one really didn't remember anything...and that included us. That was a little hard to deal with since you just want to hug her and can't. But eventually she began to warm up to us. They will be here for a few months before they have to leave again in July. Even though it is a short time, we are so thankful that the Lord allowed them to come home and that we were able to spend some of their first hours with them here in the states .

And the envelope please...

Today, i anxiously walked out to the mail box, just like i've been doing for the past several days, hoping that the letter we've been waiting for from graduate school was in our box. Well, today the letter showed up.....and....Tom has been offered a position with their DPT program!!!!
My eyes filled with tears as i read the letter and praised the Lord for His answer to prayer. I quickly called Tom and told him of the good news. He was so excited. I could just imagine his beaming face knowing that all his school work has finally paid off.
Thanks to everyone who has prayed on our behalf before the Father. We are excited to see what the Lord has in store for us and we'll be busy getting everything together before school starts in August.
