So good to be home and it looks better than I remember! There is a beautiful, fresh Christmas tree set up in our livingroom making the house fragrant. It inspired Steve to take out his guitar and play a couple of Christmas carols while he drinks his tea and unwinds. There are fresh baked loaves of bread on the counter, and homemade cookies and food in the fridge. I even think some of these tomatoes ripening on the counter came from the garden? The house is warm but it is fridged outside and there is plenty of squeaky cold snow. There is a new doorhandle on the house... and new keys. The car battery was being charged up. The plants - especially the Christmas catcuses are all healthy and in full bloom. The cat that hardly showed her face for our friends was happy to greet us. Many thanks to all our friends who took care of things and made our homecoming feel very welcoming!
My ankles are three times their usual size and my body clock is way off, but I am thinking a hot bath and few hours sleep will help me feel a little better. The kids are glad to be home... and Bethany is so happy to be with her family. Even her big sister was home from academy to greet us at the airport.
Brianna's way of passing the time on the airplane.
Many thanks to Mom and Jason and Antionette for taking care of us in Africa! We miss you all already.
Goodnight!

Emily looks just like me, in that last picture, when I was about that age. She doesn't always look like me but she does in that picture. I was cute back than. LOL
