Hello America!

Well, we've made it and are settling back into life in the USA. We have been really excited to have a wonderful debrief time and then reunite with my parents. There are so many people to visit and reconnect with. It should be a really exciting time. :)

For the week in Seattle we spent a lot of time with Steve and Becky, whose ministry is to counsel missionaries and missionary parents. We loved getting to "debrief" our wonderful experience in the Philippines with them. (and a bonus was that they really also loved Davis and Scruffy!)

It was COLD!!! To go from the climate of the Philippines to Seattle was quite a shock. Even though it was cold, we all went for many walks. (isn't Davis cute :))

Our home in Seattle was with a really nice family who openly let us come and live in their house. They had 2 awesome teenage girls also who we loved getting to know.

Sweet Home Alabama!!! This was a big reunion as Grandma and Gramps were anxiously awaiting at the airport ready to pick Davis up! (and the rest of us also!!!) Dad's joke was that they had been waiting for several hours.... I don't think it was quite that long, but they were early. :)

Davis is adjusting really well. He is now sleeping through the night again and just being such a happy kid. He did have a minor set back with an ear infection and really runny nose, but he is a trouper and is still ready to play!
