We made it.

We're back in the land of freedom friends.  It was, as expected, a long and exhausting trip.  But, we made it and are so thankful for friends who picked us up and have made us welcome. 

I'm actually the only one awake at 9am as we got in and to bed by 3am.  Lawrence held out and got the "lack of sleep" award as he slept about 1 1/2 hours of the 24 hour door to door travel day.  Mark took the brunt of this reality as he sat with the boys on the 14 hour flight.  He gets the "perseverance" award.  Caroline gets the "most movies watched" award on the flight.  She confessed to watching Mulan twice and Bolt 3 times. . . Emma gets "most sleep and comfort" award as she crashed on the floor for about 7 hours on the long flight.  Pays to be little I guess!!

We are without phones for a few days, until we get them in the mail and get them activated.  Will let you know a number when we get them.

We take Emma to the endocrinologist tomorrow(wed).  Pray for wisdom for the dr's and for quick follow up appointments so we can get this growth hormone thing figured out!
