Thanks to all...

Thanks to everybody for your well wishes, prayers and support. It means so much to see your comments and hear that you're following us on the blog. This is too overwhelming to do by yourself. We are home now, and are still thankful every moment to be home. It's so much easier when you're in familiar surroundings, and now the boys can finally settle into routine and familiarity as well. Our chaos is improving every day. The boys are catching on fast and Drew is starting to speak a few Hutterisch words now. This morning I was pushing him on the swing, and he kept repeating, "ranzen, ranzen and "shtoppe." (swinging and stopping). When I first pushed him, he laughed so hard, he nearly fell off. It seemed he's never been on one. Demitri was content to eat sand and feel it between his fingers, and go down the slide.

Jonte will post pictures of our first walk in the woods yesterday. It almost seemed like my first walk as well, watching them experience everything. Drew loved whacking around with long sticks and corn stalks. Demitri enjoyed toddling along, falling over at every incline and then just lay there a while, staring at the sky.

Naptime is almost over, gotta go.
