But we did not go crazy!
Just had a date…without kids. I ate mushroom soup. He had zurek. I had super gooey hot chocolate with whipped cream. And we split a cheese pizza.
And now he is still working at 1:30am. So I am posting this photo to prove that at least we had an evening together 🙂
In other news…
He and Ada had a tremendous time in Arizona, Nevada, California, and Colorado.
We appreciated everyone that Rich got to meet and share with in regards to our work! (Find us on Facebook for the time being~Bread of Life~while we work on getting our website up and edited)
Ada got to share about being a multi-culture kid—super excited about that. I think she ended up speaking to nearly 170 mostly kids but some adults too. She said she had so much fun. Funny fact: She did the majority of her presentations in Polish. I asked her why. She said she was less nervous to do it that way 😉 And I guess the biggest hit of all was “Kupa Zupa” (What little kids would call Poop Soup) served once a week at school. Haha! If I was a kid, I would find that great fun to learn about, too!
The littles and I barely survived—snow. Freezing cold. Many wooden fire nights. Coal. More coal. Have I mentioned coal? And then 8 days of sickness. And then 1 glorious last week before Rich and Ada returned where the sun started to peek through and the babies weren’t puking.
So, truly, before they re-arrived back in Poland, I was able to straighten the house, make food, and somehow regain a bit of sanity.
But we’re all still super tired. Poor Ada has been going to sleep at 4am, 2am, and tonight midnight. Well, I guess midnight is progress, eh?
And Rich has now officially gone to bed while I am busy typing this—makes sense since he has a 7am meeting.
Perhaps I should follow?
In the meantime, Rich and Ada have only been home for 4 full days but it already feels like a blessed eternity.
SOOOO happy to have my husband and my first beautiful miracle back in my home.
And not just because I want him to stoke and clean the coal—and light and clean the fire.
I promise 😉
xo for now (I’ll post Minion Mom’s devotion tomorrow—OOPS. I think that I better get back online to keep up)

P.S. Sunday we got to take a few photos at church—So, this is just a day plus a few hours after Adelyne arrived back home. You should note that she chose to wear her dress from the wedding she was in last year in Botswana—and so, of course, Josephine had to wear her beautiful dress form Ivory Coast. Maxwell, to be honest, I am happy that he just let me put him in clothes and that he didn’t choose to go naked to church or in his baseball pajamas. It’s a rare day when Maxwell is actually dressed.
Overall—What fun!
