Nearing the Journey's End

The last 2 weeks or so have just flown by with last minute visits with friends and family. We are currently in the process of traveling between 2 worlds. This morning (actually yesterday morning I guess) I woke the kids up saying, "It's time to go home." Where is home? I'm not sure I can answer that question any more. In June we "came home" to the US and now we are returning "home" to the Philippines. Some friends in the PI have a picture in their house that says; "Home is wherever Christ leads me." That statement becomes truer the longer we travel down this path that God has led us on.


We really enjoyed our 10 weeks in the US. It passed way too fast. We got to visit with so many of our friends and family. It was great to see everyone. I will probably continue to post a few of those pics in the coming weeks.


We are about to start the final leg of a journey that began at 5:30 Tuesday morning. It has involved a drive to Atlanta; a flight to Newark, NJ; and a second 16 hour flight up over the N. Pole to Hong Kong. We are currently sitting in the Hong Kong airport waiting for our long day to end.

Here's a picture of how Will kills time waiting in Newark.

He is riding the people mover in a big circle-down one side and up the other. In this shot he is actually walking the wrong way so he doesn't move. It's like a big treadmill. He can entertain himself for hours this way. If it's not crowded, I'm all for letting him expend a little energy. Here in Hong Kong, he is playing his Nintendo DS while Emily is sleeping on across 2 seats. Not much energy left. Next stop--Manila

So glad that we got to see you this summer. You made our summer a very good one. We miss you and are already counting down to the next visit. Hopefully the kids can play together with their webkins. Give us a call or e-mail when you are on the webkins site. Maybe we can set up a time on the weekends. Love ya and miss ya,
Hollister's
