One Year in the USA

One year ago today we were doing this:
I remember feeling so many emotions... nervous, excited, eager, tired, and anxious. 
Our new adventure as a family of six was finally about to begin on our home turf. 
I still stand in awe of the miraculous way God orchestrated the details of our trip. 
We were anticipating and prepared to be in country for 3-4 weeks. 
We were on our way home in TWO weeks. Unheard of! Praise God!
Remember this? We were warmly greeted on the upper level by family both near and far. 
Both sets of grandparents, brother, sister, and cousins. Throughout this past year, 
family has been very supportive and we are thankful. 
Then there is this amazing crowd (and others not pictured) who regularly lift us up in prayer!
This is what it means to be the body of Christ. We have been well loved and cared for. 
It has not been an easy journey, but we are learning and growing and thankful
for gracious friends and family. 

"Irina and the Boys"
My sister-in-law says it sounds like an 80's rock band name. 
I assert that they are probably noisier then an 80's rock band!
