They're BAAAAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!! :)

Wes & Laurie are back HOME, and the New Day family is finally complete!!! We had a plan to have the kids meet us at several points along the way with balloons and signs, so as we got close we had Wes & Laurie move to the front of the bus. When we got to the first sign, they were surprised to see a few kids with balloons holding up a sign that said "WELCOME!!" Everyone got hugs and jumped on the bus and the next group met us along the way holding up a sign that said "EMOH!" (oh well - they tried!!) More hugs and that group jumped on! We drove a little further, and Mulenga was there in truck, prepared to do the traditional escort for the entrance of an important person, like a chief! He led us on an escort onto the New Day land, honking his horn along the way! All of the little ones were there with balloons and a song and there were hugs all around! It sure does feel good to be a FAMILY again! :)
