Okay, I will post more some other time, but I thought I should give you all a pic or two of the kids...
We're Back
Just a quick post to let you all know that we are safely back in MN and very happy to have our whole family under one roof. We are tired from the long trip and the mounds of laundry seem endless at the moment. Marcus and Zoe are adjusting very well and the many meltdowns during the plane ride seem very long ago and far away (thank heavens). One tip - I don't recommend traveling for 22 hours with a 1 1/2 yo and a 4 yo :)

Great to hear you're home safe and sound. They are both beautiful! We look forward to getting to know them, you and your other children sometime in the future. Welcome home to Minnesota from Tony, Julie, Raina and Fantaye!
ReplyDeletePS- I think that car in the Guest House courtyard might be the most popular toy there. I have seen it in many a picture.
*cheers* yay! your home!! I've have been so very excited to hear how the kids are doing! I hope Marcus is okay with Snickers...
ReplyDeletepost more soon!

Barb, Chris, and all 8 young ones,
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! I am VERY glad you are safe at home and that things are going well. I've been a blog stalker (about ten times a day I bet) and am exited to hear more details on everything. I love the pictures.
I'll look forward to reading Molly's thoughts on her blog and Nina's trip experiences as well. Now Evan needs a blog just to give his thoughts on the trip and life as the oldest of 8!
Chris did you ever eat at the Dinner Bell or Swedish Inn growing up? I was thinking about when my sisters and I would go up to Lindstrom on Saturdays with my dad to NABPCO (or was it NAPBCO?I forget)Anyway, my grandpa owned the store and we would run around Lindstrom on Saturdays and eat mostly at the Swedish Inn. I was just thinking about it.
Have a good week and the laundry will not be so overwhelming if you hide half of it in the garage or somewhere and only pull out a few loads at a time. My little trick.

Welcome home!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for allowing me the most awesome privilege of watching the kids on Friday -- I wouldn't have traded the JOY and LOVE that I saw when that front door opened for a million bucks! :)
ReplyDeleteThe kids were super -- I just kept thinking, "We need to move closer to the Johnson's!!" And the little hug around the knees I got from Raelea when I was going to leave was heart-warming; she is one precious little blessing. I had a great time laughing with her!
Much love to ALLLLLLL of you!
Tina,
ReplyDeleteYes, Chris has been to both the Swedish Inn and the Dinner Bell (actually he has even taken me to the Dinner Bell). Ah, life in Sweden - I mean Lindstrom - same difference I guess :)

Kim,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for blessing our family on Friday and over all the many years you have so faithfully served us. You and Casey are a tremendous blessing to us and Thank You just doesn't really cover it...
Btw, we LOVED the meals you brought, so I will need to get the recipes :)
