Here we are

So after leaving our friends in the sweltering heat, we dragged ourselves across 10 countries, 8 time zones, 5 airports and one too many interrupted naps. We finally made it to the amazing U.S. of A! The weather is blissfully cool (supposed to freeze tonight!), the food is all too yummy (I threw away my fat clothes, I threw away my fat clothes) and the family/friend time is INCREDIBLE.Gramma and Papa came from Colorado for birthdays, Thanksgiving, first day of school (can you believe both big girls get to go?) and lots of quality time.
It's near heaven for us all to have Grams and Mimi and Grandad around the corner and we are just so thankful. These last two years in Africa have been incredible. We learned and loved and grew and thrived. But it was hard and we are so glad that we get to have this time to rest and recover and re-connect and re-focus. Thanks for helping us have this time; we can't wait to see each and everyone of you!
