We're Home!

Well, here we are - home - safe and sound in our cozy little home in snowy, rural MN!

Everything is re-connected except for our internet!  Century Link has NOT been easy to work with for the reconnection - needless to say - after 17 years of being their customers - we are switching our internet and phone service.  So it will be a few days before we get online at home.

So, I will update more about our trip home later - but briefly - it was uneventful - lots of travel - great flights and smooth layover.  We spent the afternoon on layover in Amsterdam visiting the Anne Frank House/Museum.  That was an adventure in and of itself!  See pics on facebook.  It was fun figuring out the Amsterdam public train/tram systerm that brought us from the airport to Central Station in downtown Amsterdam. 

The Anne Frank House was cool.  The kids have read the Diary and were eager to see the House.  A great learning experience for us all.  More thoughts on that to come later.

For now - we would love to see all of you!  I know that's not possible, but for whoever can make it, we are having a little get-to-together at our home tomorrow night (Friday) to catch up with one another in person.  We went to get a christmas tree tonight so at least we'll be a little bit decorated.  We will be making christmas cookies as well, if you'd like to join in.  It will be very casual and a fun opportunity to see some of you.  Come anytime after 6pm.

Until we get internet at home - have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.

We'll continue updating our blog until the end of my sabbatical and after my return to Fish Lake Lutheran on January 2.

Missing Africa, but happy to be home.
