Silly Mia



Having Fun





Welcome Home Mia!




Finally Home

Before we left China, Kevin gave Elvin a shirt from his company. Elvin loved it and you can see the friendship in the picture. We have great memories of our time with him!

The trip back was a nightmare! Planes, turning around, going through immigration in Japan, being placed on separate planes for the new trip (Kevin "fixed" that quickly), no internet access in the meantime, waiting, more waiting, finally getting to Minneapolis! I have no pictures to post of the 24 hour Japan period... but here is Mia waving as a US citizen when we FINALLY landed in the states! Don't you love the picture of her falling asleep as she rode on Kevin's shoulders through the airport? Now that is exhaustion.

When we finally drove up to our house with all of our children in the car, we were greeted with chalk art from kids in the neighborhood! What a welcome!!
