Sunday, April 17, 2011


A powerful welcome home today (after our 9 hour flight from Amsterdam).

It started with the greeting and ride from the airport (thank you, Judy).
It continued with the yard sign, cheer and visiting from neighbors (thank you, Heidi & Mike).
Playtime and visits for Lucas from great neighbor kids (thank you Kaitlyn, Emma, Lara, Alex, Katie, Mikaela and Ella).
And went on with the crockpot of yummy stew filling the kitchen with homey smells and a visit (thank you, Julie and Geno).
It grew with help of Chinese casserole, brownies and milk and visiting (Thank you, Mom and Jackie)
And grew with more visiting and wild rice soup, rolls and cookies (Thank you, T, Celeste and kids)

We are blessed to have family and friends that support, encourage and pray. And grateful for pre-trip advice (Thank you Heath and Ginger). For every email, blog post, card or letter, donation and offer to help - we know who are and are thankful!

  2. Welcome home! Our time here is fleeting as well - I just made our Amsterdam hotel reservations for next Monday night to follow in your 15-hour layover footsteps. Thank you for leading the way in Kyiv and for showing us the ropes. I now no longer fear Bus Route 255! We will pray for a quick adjustment back to CDT. -Bruce for all

  3. We have no layover, but we get the priveledge of Lufthansa beating our bags up again. No word for the Moore's yet on the court date. Glad you made it home safe.

    I told Anya today it won't be too long before we are flying back to Minnesota. We are starting to miss home.
