Other events from our trip...

If you didn't already, be sure to scroll down and read about Oksana's birthday party. I'm catching up on blogging today! While we were in St. Louis we did a lot of other fun stuff too. We spent a lot of time with family and friends. Larry got to play guitar at our home church. The kids got to ride 4 wheelers (even Oksana got to ride with her daddy). And we managed to squeeze in a trip to the zoo:





The other thing we did that might even be surprising to some of you that know us well is go house hunting. Those of you that get our ministry newsletter will be hearing about this again soon, but we are moving back "home" hopefully this summer. We were called almost 4 years ago to serve with FamilyLife. We LOVE FamilyLife and we still have a passion for marriages and families but our ministry is now happening right in our home. Our calling to adopt children with special needs is bringing us back home to live near our family again. Our house here is on the market and as soon as we sell it we will be heading back. It's a bittersweet move for us but one that we know is right for our family.

I think I have at least one more blog update to do so we'll see if I can squeeze it in tonight!

I am sad for FamilyLife's loss of the Loraine family, but so happy for you. FamilyLife has a way of honing in and sharpening people's passions and callings. Looking forward to seeing what God has for you next.

Hi Erin...I hate to lose the only other RR family in the central AR area but I'm really happy for y'all to get closer to family. It sounds like there might be more adoptions in your future, and that's wonderful!! Any particular RR kiddos in mind?? :)

Erin, I know that you and Larry have prayed on this. I am happy that you will get to move back home! Maybe on one of our trips home we can get together. I would love to see you and meet the princess!
