A trip home!

We made a trip home over Easter break for the first time in July.

The kids were thrilled and surprised to find out we were flying business class - they thought they were in heaven! (It even relieved some anxiety over the fact that we completely forgot Joseph's suitcase!) It really was nice - given our short trip - to be able to sleep better on the plane.

Jeff's family met us at the airport. We were tired but felt much better the minute we saw family!

We were very lucky that our trip home coincided with Grandma's surprise 90th birthday party. What a great chance to see everyone!

Joseph loved having Dad to himself for a while!

Mom cooked a wonderful Easter dinner after worshiping at ARC on Sunday.

We celebrated Daniel's birthday a little early.

We had another wonderful Easter dinner on Monday - (we all came back feeling quite fat :)! )

And Josh and Dana were kind enough to time little Lucus' birth so we could see him before he was a full 24 hours old!

Brian and Sherry timed Anna's birth similarly! Wow! What accommodating family and friends!

It was great to see book group and church friends again!

Thanks to all! See you in July!
