Reunion

Chris and Austin made it back safely today.  After only 26 hours on the bus. Yes, they were braver than me. I would do 26 hours on a train and it feels like that long on our plane ride across the ocean, but a bus with no bathroom? Not sure I would have a good attitude about that.  But they did and are home...they walked in the door around noon today.  We were all excited to see each other.  Bennett was very happy to have his big brother back and Mei Mei was excited too and even joined in the wrestle melee that followed our very early dinner.  Chris went to bed this afternoon (he slept a total of 5 minutes on the bus) but was up for dinner and is back in bed now. Austin did get some sleep on the bus but was awake by 4 am and was asleep within minutes of his head hitting the pillow tonight.

 Happy to be together (not to delude you, there was arguing today but also lots of happiness together).

Lucy wanted to join in on wrestle-fest tonight.  If she is on the bed, couch or anything soft lately, she loves to throw herself back and laughs.  You have to watch her, since she has no sense of the edge of the bed.  But she was having a great time and is a tough girl...wants to be right in on the action.

 Where's Mei Mei? I promise she was not being smothered to death in this picture...they would blow raspberries and kiss and tickle her and she just laughed and laughed.

Boo!
