The long, long, journey!

We are finally home from our tour of the United States. Unfortunately, we have very few pictures to show for it. We do a very poor job of taking pictures of our family. Highlights of our trip are as follows:

1. Wayne and Tami's - Wayne's blueberry pancakes and awesome sermon of course.

2. Grandpa's - Cornish game hens, of course.

3. The Schluter's - dog attack and news of them moving to Nepal. Oh, and finally getting to Texas!

4. Grandmother and Grandaddy's - jumping on hay bails, Christmas, playing hide and seek in the dark with Cam's newly acquired night vision goggles, visiting cemetaries (Tony is on a geneology kick.)

5. Grandma and Emery's - fishing, of course (looks like Aub is the only one catching anything), the nature center, seeing cousins (aunt and uncle too), more Christmas, mom getting deathly ill.

6. Phillips - Learning to ride horses, however, shopping with the girls in Wal-Mart was the absolute highlight (see picture below). Staying up until 3 AM against my will playing Rook was NOT one of the highlights :-).

7. Fayetteville - eating dinner and leaving to bring Lee and the girls home with us.

8. Enjoying all the love of all the family and friends God has blessed us with.

9. Back home to "God's country" for a quick ski trip before Daddy had to go back to work.

Now it's back to the old grindstone diving into school, Bible studies, and activities. We missed home alot but realize we are blessed to have so many we love so far off as well.
