Welcome home!

In June they left.
These two teen-age best-friend/cousins
to fly alone across the sea
to spend 8 weeks with Laura in Finland.
(also Sweden & Denmark, with a quick side trip to Germany.)

Sometimes time flies, other times-generally in the case of when you're waiting on something or someone, then it can just drag pretty slowly!
August arrived, and found us back in Omaha, waiting for the kid's plane to arrive.  It had been delayed several hours.  An airport late at night isn't the most interesting, happening place!

Laura found out just days before the kid's return that she would get to come on her home visit back to the states this year, and could fly back with with them.
It might have been the middle of the night, but it was a pretty special homecoming welcome.



We had a special weekend to help welcome Laura home.Our kids were all home except for our ND ones.  A beautiful summer weekend.  Food, fun, cousins, grandkids, music & naps! We had the tents set up for sleeping space.  We ♥ living in the country even if our house is small!



We enjoyed a evening of friends & food & listened to Laura talk about Finland.


And of course no family gathering is complete without a photo of us all!!


Grandkids except for Dalayna's three.
Kyrie, Zander
Trey, Sernity, Lyrah & Neveah.

Our kids that were home. (minus Jana and Dalayna) We missed taking the picture while Jana was here.

    I like how you are going back and revisiting summer, now did I get that said in a previous post? But, it is fun to remember and to see those pictures.

    I missed all of Sept-the end of Nov. blogging, so since I blog partly as a type of journal I wanted to do those posts. Hopefully it's not going to take me too long to "catch-up"!
