God Provides...

• Sometimes it is in the form of money (thanks to those who contributed in the cause)
• Sometimes it is in the form of clothes (thanks Peter & Wes)
• Sometimes it is in the form of a bucket of chips ahoa and a good magazine (thanks Louann)
• Sometimes it is in the form of chocolate on your birthday (thanks Sveta)
• Sometimes it is in the form of making all your flights (thank God we left Moscow on time)
• Sometimes it is in the form of snowpants (thanks Wes)
• Sometimes it is in the form of a Danenhauer (Thanks Danehauers!).....

Maybe I should explain that one. My friends Brian and Julie Danenhauer just happened to be on the same flight from Atlanta to Des Monies. After 11 hours on a plane with a 3 & 5 year old, granny and I were a little spent. Julie and Brian were well rested and played with the kids for 2 hours in the airport. Then granny and I were having problems getting seats on the plane. Julie and Brian voluntarily gave up their seats, so our family could go home!!!

We are all home, safe and sound. There was a bombing yesterday in Moscow at one of the airports. It was not the airport we traveled through on this trip but thankfully it was not an issue since God brought us home on schedule.

We are "adjusting". There's some screaming, crying, laughing and curious stares....the kids have done all of that too.

I posted a link on the left to some pictures. Alik Stefan McIlravy is 5. Mikhail (AKA Misha) Garrett McIlravy is 3. If you see a pic with a bruise on his nose, some little girl in his home wacked him over the head with a toy....he had to learn sometime to watch out for girls.

The doc in Moscow said the only thing we have to worry about for Alik is when the girls discover him. And for Misha, he is the next drama king. His exact words "George Clooney watch out".

Thanks again for all of you who have lifted us up in prayer. It is greatly appreciated.
