We are HOME!



I must apologize for not keeping up on this better.  I ask for prayer and then I neglect to keep you all up on how things transpire.  Please forgive; here is the final blog on Oksana’s adoption.  We made it home the end.  Just kidding, we are home but it is not the end, it is just the beginning of the rest of our lives.  It seemed that every step along the way left us hanging right to the last minuet.  From the US Embassy to return fights.  We landed in Syracuse on Saturday afternoon, and we are still trying to relax and find a new normal.  Oksana is doing well, jumping right into school work.  She told me this morning that I am not a good teacher mommy is a good teacher.  I am actually glad to hear that, knowing that this is what is needed.  She is fitting in well as the other siblings show her around.  She seems to like the animals and is helpful with chores and cleaning.  She just finished helping mom give the baby a bath. 
Thank you all for your prayers as we walked through this journey, now we enter a new phase in life as a family of 12.
May God bless you all, Mark
