THE KIWIS HAVE LANDED!!!
Our Kiwi Kids, Josh and Lindsey, are home safe and sound after a 22 hour journey from Wellington, New Zealand. Thank the Lord they had a safe trip and are fine and dandy! We picked them up from DFW last night and probably everyone got to bed around 1:30 or 2:00 a.m.
We couldn't stop kissing and hugging them! They were probably thinking, "OK, that's good - 'nuff hugs and kisses for now..."
"Back to the Future" - they left New Zealand on Tuesday and arrived in Texas on Tuesday - they went back across the International Date Line and got here on Tuesday! Isn't that wild???
They were exhausted after that long trip, but all smiles and happy, and there were lots of tears from both sets of parents. Lindsey was a little teary, too, tho - she was tired and SO happy to see her family!
And happy tears are the BEST!
Lindsey's sweet sister and her two little precious boys, and her parents were thrilled to see their "baby girl"!
Her mom had American flags and red/white/blue leis for the kids and we all welcomed them back to the good ole U S of A (and especially to the Great State of TEXAS :)!!!
I imagine they'll be sleeping and resting today (and maybe tomorrow!), but I know that we'll be spending some fun times together here in the next few days. We've got LOTS of catching up to do!
(and more hugging and kissing!)
And seeing what's next on the radar for Josh and Lindey's next Big Adventure!
Keep yer dress down!

I can hear the relief in your voice! I guess they're all settled in now. Are they job hunting? (I told Sam tonight that we may have to form our own company to find work.) TTYL - Let's do lunch!
I know you are happy to have them home! I'm really missing my New York kiddos - they aren't coming home this summer. :(
