The Girls are Back in Town!!!!

We got our babies back on Wednesday evening. We were very excited to see them. They came home to a large welcome banner, and a yard full of their friends. That actually was not my doing. My next door neighbor was watching quite a few kids from our small community.
It didn't take long for it to feel like they never left. Life is back to normal. Clothes and toys on the floor, fighting between the sisters, threats from the parents to stop. It's fabulous.
Tom, Sr. and Barbara are here for a few more days before they make their trip back to a quiet home. I think they need a vacation now.
I want to thank everyone for treating my girls so well. Cousins Edie and Joe, Tiffannie, Ami and Chris, Amy, Dixie and Kelly, and Molly.....you helped make the girls' trip spectacular!!
I especially want to thank our parents and my sister. You all went above and beyond. The girls had such a good time. Take a good rest and get ready for next summer!!!!

we counted it all pure joy to have the girls with us for some of their precious days in the states. I know you are happy to have them back. Time away for that long gives you a taste of empty nest.. and for us mothers,when our kids are gone, part of us is missing as well...that goes for our adopted kids...you and tom. We are missing you. love, auntie dixie
