We arrived back safely in St. Louis on May 30th, exactly one week today. The kids all slept during the first flight out of Nairobi which left at 11:30 PM. After a 5 hour lay over in London, the kids were awake and restless during the 8 1/2 hour flight from London to Chicago. Jonathan cried and cried about wearing his seatbelt. He fell asleep though, and I was able to buckle him up. In Chicago, we enjoyed our first taste of McDonald's in three years!
We have enjoyed staying with my parents. This first week was full of fun and adventures: garage sale-ing, hiking, shopping for new clothes, going to the library, getting new bikes and going on bike rides, and just spending time with family. Bill was able to pick up our new (to us) van the day after we arrived with the help of my dad and brother Ben.
Being back so far as seemed like being in a wonderland.... all the smooth paved roads, fast food restaurants... in general everyone seems so courteous (especially drivers), and everything is so CONVENIENT!
