Georgia on my mind...

Well we have arrived back in our homeland. After 30 plus hours, we arrived in Atlanta Saturday night. We have spent the last 4 days resting, recuperating, and hanging out with grandparents before hitting the road. The kids have enjoyed fishing and canoeing on the lake with Pop. Emily has caught 5 fish so far. One nice sized bass and 4 brim. She and Allan are in a competition. He won't admit how many he's caught, but the official documented count is 2. Mimi has fixed us some of our favorite dishes and we are enjoying American food. We have alreaxdy eaten at Zaxbys (on the way home from the airport) and Chick-fil-a.

Yesterday we left the lake for the next 10-12 days. Our first stop is to visit some good friends from residency. For us time in the US has seemed to stand still, but kids grow and change quickly and the baby is no longer a baby. It made our time away more of a reality. The kids enjoyed playing with their young friends while the adults really enjoyed catching up. Today we swam and played. I had the pleasure of driving their new toy... a convertible BMW. Emily and Will thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the ride. I love driving in the US and it was a truly great experience. It was my first time behind the wheel since we arrived back. What a way to enter!

Next on to Greenwood, South Carolina!
