My Gift From God!

While Thomas was gone for 12 days, God provided a wonderful helper for me.

Galya came over every day to help me take care of the kids.  With her help we were able to go for long walks, get the groceries that we needed and all have much more fun than we would have otherwise during Daddy's absence!

We taught Galya how to make chocolate chip cookies, complete with my grandmother's tradition of putting flour on your nose!

Without the help of my friend Galya, at least one of us would have been crying at some point every day, and it probably would have been me more than anyone else!  Thank you, Galya!
