Here are just a few examples:
Zac may not know it yet, but he has two drawers full of his own clothes.
Additionally, he dominates the top part of the closet in "boys' room"
It's difficult to ignore the 5th stocking hung above the fireplace this year.
And each night, his bed, bear and blankie eagerly wait for his arrival.
Shortly after our return from Russia (in June) we hung up Zac's brand new fluffy bath towel. We can't bring ourselves to take it down, so it quietly sits there. (The striped one on the right).

How wonderful it is to have these reminders that he is already part of the family -- I realize it would be so much more wonderful to have Zac here - but keeping connected every day in some way until the day he comes home is a good thing too. N
P.S. I like the new family photo - looks like the gingerbread house is part of the family Christmas traditions. How fun. N
I understand the hollow ache in your plea and the hear the catch in your throat as you send wished for your son's homecoming out through your blog. My heart aches with yours. I pray that you will learn how to 'hide your soul in Jesus' during this wait and that He will bring things into your day to day to make the days go quickly. Don't forget that we are always waiting on someday in life so don't neglect to enjoy the days in between as well.
