First, where have I been? I know, I know, it's been a week since I posted last. Thank you for all your concerns!:) Let me just say- I have gone from my house in GA to Knoxville, TN to Nashville, TN and back again- all in 2 days. Just a quick trip to finish one adoption document. And guess what? ALL OF OUR PAPERWORK IS NOW IN RUSLANA'S COUNTRY!!! WOOOHOOO!! Talk about a HUGE load lifted. Now, I can breathe just a little bit. Well...maybe not.
We have been so incredibly overwhelmed lately that we haven't had many moments to just sit and enjoy each other, so we are making time for that. We also now have to think about traveling in the next 4 or 5 weeks and getting ourselves and the kiddos ready. I can't believe we are finally at this point.
And the real reason for this post....LOVE NOTES- they are something each of us (kids included) share with each other. Such a simple yet deep way to communicate our feelings for one another. You will often find windows or mirrors "painted", construction paper notes, pictures and post-its hanging around our home. And don't be surprised if you find a sweet note stuck somewhere unexpected- under a pillow, in a sleeping bag, in a car or in a briefcase. Try it. It's a very simple way to tell those closest to you how much they mean to you. And I will say from experience, you will make someone's day!!
This one even was tri-folded with pictures and a note on the reverse side.
And yes, each of these signs are currently hanging in our home....even the "Mother's Day" one.:)
Oh, and I must say that I am a very blessed woman. My hubby knows my heart- just look at what I found last week in our bathroom.:) Good thing I'm not a "high maintenance" babe!
In Him,
E

God is sooo good. I just can't wait to hear when you will travel and hold little Ruslana. Is this a one trip adoption, or will you have to leave and return?
Oh my friend, I have MISSED you here. I am so rejoicing that your paperwork is in the Ukraine. Wow--that means travel really soon, hey? Sooooo exciting. You're almost there :)
Love you heaps, dear friend.
Love notes are priceless. Chocolate speaks volumes.
Yeah for paperwork that is on the way!

I just found your blog, and am just adoring that baby boy! I read back into August, so I'm kinda getting up to speed.
I have a daughter with Ds, and several friends who have adopted from Ukraine (2 years ago! all are doing well). We also homeschool--going on our 17th year!
I look forward to following your journey to bring Ruslana home. She is now on our prayer list.
