We're home!

So great to see my little boy.  I missed him so much.

We didn't get to do anything in Paris.  pooh!  it was rainy and cold and we were tired.  But our hotel was nice so we enjoyed the evening.  picked up some souvenirs in the airport.

flight was 10 hours.  glad to be home.

So thankful for the people that helped us with this trip, that watched Anton and took care of the cats, and the Ullrich's for their hospitality, learning about Bulgaria.  And of course our agency in Bulgaria was very helpful.

I really like Bulgaria.  It is a very diverse and rich culture, and lots of history.  The landscape and mountains are beautiful.  World history has flowed through this area being central in many of the trade routes.  Food was so good, gained 5 pounds.

Interesting tidbit:  they are making movies there.  some of the actors attend a big evangelical church there when they are filming, so that adds some excitement.

I am confident that we can help heal these girls of any pains and stumbling blocks in their past, with the God's help, of course.  They will become part of our family and these bonds are stronger than any other affiliation or hurts from their past.

I feel so good that the trip went well with the girls.  They know someone loves them and wants to take care of them and make them apart of a loving family.  They can look at their photo albums and the gifts we gave and begin the process of feeling secure and removing fear.  They have tools to help a little with transitioning into the English language.  They are in good hands with their foster mom but can't wait to bring them home.  I think we can skype with them but I need to get all that set up.
