We had a sweet (and teary) send off Sunday afternoon from several SIM families who were at the guest house. When it came time to board the plane in Asuncion Joshua dug in his heels and said that he didn’t want to leave Paraguay. I literally had to drag a very sad boy down the ramp.
Apart from a few episodes of vomiting, the kids traveled like pros. We saw ships in the Panama Canal and got to experience the thrill of running in the airport to catch a connecting flight in Atlanta.
After 29 hours and five airplanes, we were so thankful to see grandpa, grandma and Uncle Steve’s smiling faces in Austin. Our bags didn’t arrive with us, but hopefully they will come via Delta Courier today.
By the time we arrived in Belton, about 1:30am we were all ready for a good night’s sleep.
Today the kids are enjoying exploring the house and playing with new toys (Ryan has discovered Guitar Hero, thanks to his uncle). Jeff’s parents have spent long hours getting their house ready for us and it is simply fantastic.
