six months ago today, this happened

We landed in Uganda, after something like 32 hours of travel.

We packed ourselves and our stuff into a Land Rover that was too small for all of us.

We rode straight to the orphanage to bring three precious and scared little ones out of its gates for good.

Oh, Jesus. I could write a book on all the changes we've seen in them in the past six months. For example, our sweet Patu is 15 pounds heavier, 9 inches taller, and 3 shoe sizes bigger now than she was then.

But as much as they have changed,
as much as they have grown,
as much as they have learned,

I'm the one most changed.
I'm the one most blessed.
I'm the lucky one.

I get to be their mama.

Thankful.

I know some of you bloggy friends will be at CAFO 2014 in a few weeks.

If you'll be there, please comment and let me know. 

I'd love to meet up in Chicago!
