Hello! We are back home safe and sound (with our luggage thankfully). As I type Blaine is out on our deck pruning our grapevine b/c it is overgrowing our bedroom window! It is about 80 degrees here, so strange to come from winter to summer. Our flights were o.k. The only real hardship was sitting on the runway for 5 hours in L.A. before beginning our 13 hour overseas leg. With all the bad weather in California, L.A. airport was very crowded and we had to sit in line to take off for many hours.
We arrived to some very bad news: Jonny's dad had a stroke 2 days before and is in ICU. The good news is that he is making some good recovery and is now able to walk with some assistance. Please pray for him and his family, for a speedy recover.
We will post some pictures from our trip to Mississippi when we get over our jetlag. Thanks to all our family and friends for all the visits, meals, gifts, and time you invested in us while we were home. It was my favorite Christmas and I have many treasured memories!

It was great to see you both at the Broome gathering. We enjoyed hearing about your life in NZ in person. Glad you made it back safely. Keep the blog going. We like hearing about your adventures!
