We are off on our journey!.
Burundi! 
Ethiopia!
Rome! 
America! We made it to America! What an amazing trip we had... When we arrived to the airport they changed our seating from the middle of the plane to the first row behind first class. Truly the favor of God. We were in the airplane for about 23 hours (in the airport for about 36 hours!) We had a 10 hour layover in Washington Dulles... don't thing we'll be doing that one again; really it was a bit hard at the end of our stretch! Malaki did amazing, and really exceeded any expectation we had... he slept, ate, played.... repeat!
.
Some of the family has already seen Malaki and has fallen in love with him. This is a sad reality I have come to, to see how much Malaki loves being around the family and is smiling and smiling... and just cheezing away! I say its sad, because without experiencing these moments its alot easier to be half way around the world raising our son so far away from family. Now, having experienced a glimpse of what is to come; may God give us grace. There is a purpose to his calling upon our lives; calling us to respond to the cries of His children in Burundi regardless of the sacrifice. I hope we can appreciate these moments to the fullest and treasure them deep within our hearts. It sure does feel good to be back in the US as a family.... All our love...
