Coming Home

Yasmin was so excited she could hardly sleep last night. We had to be up around 4:00 am so that we could make it to the airport the required two hours before our flight. We had a six hour lay-over in London, which made the day extra long.

My sister, Lisa, met us at the airport. It was so great to see her in person again! We went to her place for a tea and a chat. The kids were happy to play with Jeremy and Grace. They almost didn't want to leave, but then they realized we were going home.

Many of our neighbours are on vacation, but the ones we've had the most contact with during the year, Kim, Kendra, and Brian were there and the kids were so excited to see Kendra. Despite the six hour time change they were going full tilt until I called them in for their regular bedtime!

It really is wonderful to be home again. The house was left spotless and smelling fresh, everything in order. We did a little unpacking, but most of that will wait until tomorrow when we've had a bit of rest and can think straight again!
