Tears and Cheers













Well, I didn't get to go to get Edi and Zai, but now they're home and I'm kind-of glad that I didn't go, because of the Mango Fly larva that is eating the skin in my dad's leg. Disgusting!!!!!! We all met at the airport, hardly believing that they were home, and on Christmas Eve, too! There were many set backs, such as a problem with their plane that caused them to be on the ground in Rome for four hours and miss their next flight. With the help of God and some very generous people, They made it home at 7:15 pm, December 24th. However, it is not going to be easy to train Edi-Caleb and Hannah (as we now call them) in the ways of the Lord. They are both prone to hit and throw fits when mad or scared, and that's just what comes naturally to them. Edi is stubborn and that can be very annoying - he thinks that he can get what ever he wants if he refuses to do or say something. Oh yeah -Edi is a month older than Cooper, but Cooper is a whole head taller than Edi! When they went to bed on Christmas Eve, Edi, the three-year-old, was wearing my one-year-old cousin's pajamas! They both seem to be adjusting pretty well, although they wake up at four each morning because they are still on Uganda time. I'm pretty sure Mom and Dad are exhausted - how can't they be? We are oh so thankful to God for all the work he as done in our family to help these two beatiful children come to him.
