oh how wonderful to see you ALL yesterday!!! God is good! The girls sure keep you guys going :) I love, love the pics. I can guess who your photog was, Laura? The new header picture is just sweet. We'll talk soon. love you guys

Heather said...

I love it!! Totally makes me cry! So sweet!

Karen said...

Thanks to our awesome photographer - Laura - who not only took these pics, she even posted them for me!

To say that I am tired and overwhelmed is the understatement of the century. "Adjusting" is the key word here - we are so thankful to be home and together but there is a lot of work ahead for us!

I will try to put some kind of text post together this week if I can get my brain and body all working together at the same time!

I can never thank all of you enough for all your support and encouragement!

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! God has truly blessed you and your family - plus the church family! Just take one moment at a time, Karen.We all know what we think we need to do and what we really need to do can be very different.If we can be of help in any way - please do not hesitate to ask. We do not know what would be helpful, as we aren't anywhere near the same "life" situations.Our prayers will continue as your family adjusts.

I love going to Walmart together to try to use both of our brains! I love that you're house ain't big enough for the both of us! I love that you were obedient to our Lord in ways that most can't even begin to comprehend! I love the way that you are making Christ known! I love the ways in which He is displaying His glory through you...even though you are overwhelmed...the glory of God is radiating from your family! I love calling you friends!!!!!!!!!

Crying. Crying. Oh, Praise God.

Please know that we will keep you in our prayers for growing closer and for patience. And for the retention of some of your brain cells ;) Hang in there!

It's great to have you home. I guess you can tell from all the comments that you've had a lot of people following your journey. So cool to see pictures of all of you together--I especially liked the one of all 3 in church

Please do realize it is normal (I hope!) to be pretty disoriented for awhile.
