Family - there's nothing like it

We're home! We're home sweet home.

The two weeks in Canada and the USA flew by. We connected with parents, grandchildren (oh yes, and children...), and partners. Here are a few highlights.

The family: long walks along the river and a fridge with memory pictures

 Mom cooked a huge turkey for Kirsten, Dad and me. Deeeeelicious. And lots of leftovers.

 Always hugs - special when it's grandma and grandpa.

 Goofy selfies

 Love love love my mom and dad!

Back in Seattle, our kids and grands...

Our children and their wonderful spouses.

Found a pic of my grandparents with their grandkids ...

 Our grandkids enjoyed visiting our apartment ...

The oldest two tried squishing into the whirlpool laundry sink where they used to splash around together. They've grown a bit in the years since we moved to Indonesia.

We made a lot of memories

Moravian Prayer: Jesus, fellow traveler, life is not easy. Following you may not make it any easier, since you lead us to be more aware of our own sins and those of our culture. But you also promise to go with us, and to give us other fellow travelers. Amen.
