Home At Last

We finally made it. We had a nice brief welcome party at Dulles with several kind family members. Special thanks to Carl Schwaner, a special friend who drove all the way up from Charlottesville just to see our boy. Aaron was worth the trip. He put on a great show.

Going to bed now.

Well, the danger on the rocks has surely passed
Still I remain tied to the mast
Could it be that I have found my home at last
Home at last

    You all have been on my mind and lifted in prayer all day. My husband and I read "The Other Valla" entry to the kids at dinner tonight. Praise God that you are finally HOME.

    So glad you're home. Hopefully you can now have some rest!!I pray the blessing of the Lord on your family as the brothers get to know one another and for Aaron to set peacefully into his new home and new routine.

    Rejoicing with you! My kids, who have joined me in prayer for Aaron since mid-December, are jumping up and down! =) My three year old is chanting "Aaron's home! Aaron's home!" What a blessing for me and my kids to see this huge answer to prayer. We are SO happy for you!
