Grandma and Grandpa are on their way home

our time with grandma and grandpa is done for now and we left them at the airport for their trek back to the USA. we are grateful for their time here and how they blessed us with great places to stay in this country. the time flew by very fast and the kids were so excited to show them around their 'host country'. i think the kids are a little more settled in now that g-ma and g-pa have seen where they sleep, eat, play and live. we spent most of our days on the go to give a wide variety of experiences and i think they went home pretty tired but glad for coming. you would have to ask them personally what they REALLY thought of it here :D there isn't just one pat answer.

and since i am a little emotional tonight...i do have to say my kids tears broke my heart on the way home from the airport...and this would be the number one reason why it's hard to live overseas...and that is our kids hearts break because they miss their family and friends. as soon as we got to our car hazel realized what had just happened and she began to weep a very sad cry. we see her cry everyday but i had never seen this kind of cry... she was just really sad...along with gavin and together they sat on my lap and mourned their grandparents all the way home. (good thing we don't have to wear seat belts here for cases like this) but what a great thing to be able to love someone so much that you cry when they leave and you can't wait to see them till the next time....so....you start counting down the days from 300!!!! we are blessed in this life to have family and friends to love and who love us back and i just wanted to say that many tears have been shed on this side of the world because we miss so many of you but we are grateful that we have you to miss. blessings to you.
