SHE'S HOME!!!!

                       It has taken 10 1/2 years for her to make it here, but she is finally HOME!

             We will have a lot of work ahead of us convincing her that she REALLY is HOME.

          There is a lot of damage to undo, but we signed up for whatever it takes. She's worth it!

          She spent four hours unpacking her car load of stuff she has collected over her many moves.

           She only stopped, briefly, for a little tether ball and ping pong.  She just wanted to get settled.

                  WELCOME HOME, ALANNA!  WE LOVE YOU!  FOREVER!  IT'S TIME!

"Is It Time?"

A child sat on Jesus' lap in the the splendor of heaven. The child asked, "Is it time?" Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said, "No, not yet child." The child asked, "When will it be time?" Jesus replied, "When lessons are learned, hardships endured, and loneliness lived, then it will be time." Time passed. The child asked, "Is it time?" Jesus parted the clouds and looked and said, "No, not yet child" The child asked, "When will it be time?" Jesus replied, "When maturity is reached, self-worth affirmed and spirits strengthened, then it will be time." Time passed. The child asked, "Is it time?" Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said, "Their love is strong and their hearts are open. Yes, now it is time -"Your family is ready." ~Author Unknown
