Overwhelmed

We are home. We are together. It is enough.
We don't have pictures yet. Through a serious of misguided communications and decisions - the camera got packed in the unlocked carry on, and was gone when we got home. However, we are determined to not let it steal the joy of these moments. However, it will mean it takes longer to post pictures. Bear with us, we will post them.
First night went well. Only glitch-Er screams when the dog comes near. Hopefully it was nerves, exhaustion and EVERYTHING being new. Re and P enjoyed playing together. CN helped give Er a bath. They went to sleep relatively well. And we are headed there. I'm afraid that they will be up early. However, I will be grateful for a FULL nights sleep in my own bed.
We came home to dinner on the stove, and two freshly painted and decorated bedrooms. It amazed me how much our friends did for us. We are loved and blessed. So a missing camera in light of all the blessings, as well as our children sleeping in their beds, is just an inconvinance.
The point of all that is ... pictures will take a little longer, and if your a parent that was there - email me pictures PLEASE. And that you really can't check luggage unlocked with valuables.
Funny things that happened today...
Remy crawled into bed, wrapped himself up and had the biggest smile on his face. He says, "It's a big bed..." in awe.
Pray for them. It's alot to take in. It's alot to grieve. It's alot to have change. We are trying hard to give them the space to grieve, and yet be there. We are balancing Ce and P, and their needs. We are trying to stay focused and not be distracted by the small irritations that arise from being overtired. And we know that it is only by God's Grace that any of that will be accomplished. So pray for us please.
