Home sweet home....December 5th

Yes, it is true!  We are home again and it is so very wonderful to be back to Canada, back to family and people and places familiar.  How special to have our son O.J. at the airport to meet us with a sweet smile, huge hug, fresh baked cookies and lots of good news.  Later we gathered at Jeff and Jenn's along with Kaden, Abby and Emma for more debriefing before the kids' bedtime.  And this grandpa and grandma found themselves suddenly very tired too!  It was time to head down the driveway to our own home and to our own bed for the first time in three months.

Home sweet home.......

 

Yesterday was a time of cocooning and enjoying browsing through our piles of mail; cooking again on my electric stove....making soup and baking bread as the washer and dryer did their duty taking care of several loads of laundry.  There was time to venture out and inspect the new sign at our gateway announcing Christmas trees for sale here on our farm for the very first time!  And, the sun shone and the skies were blue...at least for a few brief morning hours.  By afternoon we were back to rain again but inside it was cozy and warm.  O.J. had not only started Christmas baking but he'd started putting up Christmas decorations and lights too.  So for sure we feel welcomed and loved, and for certain it is good to be home again in time for all the festivities and fun of Christmas here in Canada.  In closing this chapter we want to once more thank each and all of you who prayed for us and supported us in so many ways on this our first trip to Hungary.  Thank you for walking with us and encouraging us on.....
