Really, there is no place like home huh? For us, home happens to be in two places. I think Jon and I feel less stressed here in America. Things feel "normal" to us. And our family and friends are here. BUT we are also ready to go "home" to Africa in the morning. There we also have "family and friends" now...and it's the place that the 5 of us live and breath together. For our kids, that place is home. Both Kolby and Gabby have loved being here in America, seeing their cousins and grandparents, meeting up with little friends, and enjoying American luxuries like Chuckee Cheese :) However, they are both ready to be "home", in their home where their beds and blankets and toys are! It's interesting that this will be a dynamic in our family that will most likely last a lifetime. Even if we didn't live in Africa sometime in the future, it will be a place where our kids feel at "home", while Jon & I will most likely always feel at "home" in both places. It's weird we flew away from our home 3 months ago with a 6 week old and now we are flying back with a 4 month old. We are packed up in our 5 black crates, 2 suitcases, infant car seat and our carry-ons. What a pain to make it all 50 lbs! Why can't I just shove as much in as I can? That would make traveling easier for sure. We will fly off around noon tomorrow from Phoenix. Thanks to the guy who had the bomb that didn't work...hopefully security won't hinder our flight schedule! Thanks to ALL of our family and friends that have given generously to us of your time, money, friendships, gifts, and hugs!! Who knows what awaits us...no internet? a broken truck? And our home! Thought I would post one thing just in case :) We love you all!!
