...and we wouldn't change a thing.
We have had so much fun with Gavin finally home with us and he is doing amazing at the adjustments he has had to make with his new life and family.
The first time we sat around our table for dinner at home and held each others hands to pray was a moment I will keep in my mind for a long while. Instead of having to pray for Gavin somewhere we could not even identify with, he was right here with us praising our Heavenly Father for the journey He had safely brought us home from. God is so good to us.
The kids are back in school, Gary is back to work, and housework is again on my lists of things to do, only now it is being interrupted for a story of "Little Bear" or "Snuggle Puppy"....and I wouldn't change a thing.
