And in case anyone is wondering why I’m up at 2 AM writing, well, yes, me and jet lag are friends for a couple of days. Interestingly enough, Olivia seems to have taken after Christian in showing no signs of jet lag, and Martin and I are having the midnight blues together. Funny how that is.
SO, the kids did great on the plane (yay). This was a really really great time for us as a family – not the plane ride, the time together in the USA.
Now that we are back reality is catching up with us – our very large piece of land needs some serious mowing and gardening. We have started on it, but are waiting on our lawn mower to be delivered! Wahoo!
Here are some more pictures to ease my guilty conscience at how sporadic I am at blogging! 
After we landed in Charlotte we drove straight to Raleigh to visit my Dad’s family. The kids were immediately spoiled terribly, and enjoyed every minute of it. My grandma had bought all kinds of special goodies for them, and for us.
And then back to Greenville in time for sweet Hannah’s college graduation!
Richard and Felicity were able to come for the big day and we were SO happy to see them again!
We then headed to S. GA where Grandmother fed us her unbeatable South Georgia cooking. At one meal she had 5 different kinds of meat! WOW! Yes, I did gain weight while we were there. And yes, I am determined to lose it – maybe next week. 
Then we headed back to Greenville and enjoyed the rest of the time with friends and family there.
Margie and Ronald came from Charleston to see us – they are so close to our hearts!
Martin had to wear this pretty little outfit to bed the night before we left, because all of his clothes were packed. We’ll be pulling this picture out to show his future girlfriend someday. Hee hee hee.
God used these weeks for me as a big refresher. It was just so nice to be with friends and family, and visit the church where I grew up. So many new faces, but so many dear “old” ones too. We’re always happy to be home, but God gave us some special times that will not be soon forgotten! Martin had the hardest time coming back – he cried several times over having to leave Grandpa and Grandma. That’s a good sign though!
Enjoying our USA trip…
