    How could anyone be mad at you? I think we were all just a little concerned when you dropped off the radar. Concerned that something had happened or that something was wrong. It's so good to have you back and know that you were just off dealing with "life" stuff. You've been missed. ...And hey...you don't owe us videos! You do you, we'll still be here when you get back 🙃

    A 15 hour drive with little ones is so difficult. To think that you did this FOUR times in one month, with very little screen time to entertain them, and even in a stranger's car - that is an incredible accomplishment. You deserve a break for sure!

      Lol, what did parents do before creen time, oh wait that's how lots of parents still parent.. limit screen time
      If I drove 15 hours with my two children, we would talk, sing, nap, play games etc. Lol

      @MsFitz134 Год назад +8

      @@brandip2446 I'm not questioning her parenting choices, just saying it's an added layer to the stress she was already facing and applauding her for the accomplishment. Entertaining kids safely in a car for that long even with screens is no easy feat. I know I personally from experience that I can't get through a 6 hour drive with my four kids without playing a movie or two on the tablet. It turns into a screaming match every time if they don't have the distraction. We homeschool, but even though we are used to being around each other all day being in cramped quarters and dealing with traffic for that long puts us all on edge. Multiple 15 hour drives is almost superhuman.

I am delighted that you were able to visit Russia and see your family and friends. I know that was very important for you all. Congratulations to Tolya for obtaining his Theology diploma! What a wonderful achievement. I am also following him here on RUclips and his teachings on the gospel of Jesus Christ and Word of God. May God continue to bless you, keep and protect you and surround your family with His peace and love ❤️.

    Oh my goodness! You have been through so much and with 2 small children. I had to go through something similar when my children were little too. Fortunately it wasn't to another country just to another far away state. Moving around and being unsettled is so hard and I feel for you going through all that and then adding the stress of the crazy documents from Russia must have been terrible. So glad you are back and safe. Take a breath, do something special for yourself and I hope the summer in one place will give you some peace and time to plan and think things through.
