We made it home!! This just all feels so unreal.
Before we left on Wednesday we took photos with our South African "family"...
Herman, Corlia, Mannie (holding peanut) and the Olsson "five."
Jeanetta, Gert and Gary.
I cried like a baby saying goodbye to such precious friends.
I also likely cried out of disbelief that our long and sometimes arduous journey was coming to a close.
Or I cried simply because taking a lively three year old on an 18 hour flight will bring anyone to tears!
Amazingly enough, the trip was smooth (or "too smooth"due to a lingering illness of the stomach variety that had Oskar and I both in the doctor's office today...) and it was incredible to be greeted by such a boisterous and beautiful host of friends and family at the Grand Rapids airport.
Uncle Jon and Aunt Lyndi captured our arrival on film and if I was clever I would know how to post that here...as of now it is on my facebook page ;)
