Family returning from overseas
On march 16th, Tom's sister and her family came home from Russia. We were so excited to be able to meet them at chicago O' hare airport. For us, this was quite a treat since we hadn't seen our nieces and nephew for one and a half years. Their ages are 2, 6 and 8. I haven't gotten any of the pictures developed yet, but i will post some as soon as i do. They are so adorable. The kids were going crazy being here in America again. This is one area I do completely understand since I lived over in Russia for a while. Coming home is quite overwhelming at first including hearing all of the english being spoken at such a fast speed. Of course, the littlest one really didn't remember anything...and that included us. That was a little hard to deal with since you just want to hug her and can't. But eventually she began to warm up to us. They will be here for a few months before they have to leave again in July. Even though it is a short time, we are so thankful that the Lord allowed them to come home and that we were able to spend some of their first hours with them here in the states .

Wow, what a blessing to have them "home" in America for a little while! Be sure to post some pictures of them when you get a chance. Will they be staying at your home?
Alicia--no, the're staying at Tom's parent's house in illinois. We don't have enough room here that for sure! But tom's parents have a nice home with extra rooms since Tom and his youngest sister carrie have moved out.
