In case anyone is counting, our kids came home four months ago today.
Jason and the three kids (Abram wimped out) made this snow-woman (as the girls called it) on Saturday. I must say it was one of the cutest snowmen that I've seen.
I really don't have any thoughts on that milestone. I'm just thankful for the grace God gave me to get through today. It was another incredibly rough day with the girls. I felt like I was treading water all day, barely hanging on. But, I can say that God's grace was sufficient. The kids are in bed and I am still breathing. Jason called me on his way home (he had to work late) just a little bit ago and I was sobbing on the phone with him. After I calmed down, I heard the girls' bedroom door open. They heard me crying and wanted to know why. I fumbled my response.
I will say it again. God's grace is sufficient. He provided wisdom after I asked (after I possibly blew it . . . I don't know if I did or not and that is part of the problem!) and a little victory at the end of the night with one of the girls. I am trusting His faithfulness for tomorrow. He listens to my cry for help.
For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. Psalm 22:24

Just wanted to say what an encouragement your blog is to me. Those were just the verses I needed today too. My challenge is a struggling marriage and some days it seems like constant attacks. A lot of your wisdom on attaching to former orphans also applies to re-attaching to spouses. Funny how God works.
