“God is the designer of the family. He intended that the greatest of happiness, the most satisfying aspects of life, the deepest joys should come in our association together, and our concerns for one another.”

Watching and Waiting
My cute little boy started his journey home from Novosibirsk, Russia about two inches over on that map–so, right above Kazakhstan. But when we found out that we could actually watch the flight progression he had already landed in Moscow after a 4-1/4 hour flight.
Poor guy had to hang out in the Moscow airport for 5-1/2 hours before catching the next 10-1/2 hour flight…
to New York…
and more importantly—the first American soil he’s touched in 2 years. There he had a 3-1/2 hour layover which gave him just enough time to find a Wendy’s. What did he order?
The Baconator, of course! American fast food…in all it’s glory. Heh, heh, heh.
So, now–please try to picture all the last minute work I really should be doing in the few final hours before the Bald Kid actually gets home.
But am I doing it?
No. No, I wasn’t. I was sitting by the computer….
pushing the refresh button every 39 seconds.
Give. Me. My. BOY!
Yeah. It’s a mama thing.
😀 😀 😀
Anticipation
I do apologize for my absence here in this place. But you see, we’ve had some prepping to do.
In anticipation of a big, huge, monumental event.
We cleaned and organized and made sure to wear the appropriate colors.
We hung signs…
and did all we could to ready the “Cave.”
We added a mysterious scented mist to the air and even invited an ominous guest.
Then all that was left….was to wait.
The hardest part of all.
