But it's so wonderful to know that we are all in the same state and can call each other and not have to worry about different time zones. It's great.


And here they are the night Mom and Dad got home. The shirts say "All Finnished" (a little pun on them going to Finland). Two of these kids had never met them before in their lives and two more were less than a year old when they left (less than 6 months in fact). It's so fun to see them all interact with their grandparents.
Welcome home Mom and Dad. We love you and we've missed you. But we are so grateful for the sacrifices you have made these last three years.
