Two Things:

1) We're home in Kara! (and no, the pic below was not taken in Kara...don't we wish...)

2) We're aware that we haven't blogged in awhile, but we're not going to do the whole blog post where we apologize for being out of touch for such a long time and then promise to get better only to fail to post again for weeks on end. That's just not our style. If you read this blog, then you know that we are some of the most regular bloggers around, and now that we're back in Togo, being regular is very important :)The cool thing about us not blogging for awhile is the reason: we were actually sharing our lives everyday in meaningful ways with the ones we love! Instead of just posting pictures and reading the comments, we were able to see so many of our friends and family in the flesh, hug them, laugh with them, watch ours boys enjoy them, and relish in the blessing of quality time that God gave us.

So now, we exhale. It's good to be home, of course, but we miss everyone already! We are, however, glad to be getting back into routines and a slower pace of life. That America place is CRAZY!

Yeah, but when you're with people you love...it's a GOOD crazy. Our week with Caden was the most special gift! Hopefully we can have "Gamma & Papa" camp with both of the boys next time you come back. We'll look forward to it!
hugs, MOM & DAD xoxo

So glad you all made it home safely! Our time spent with you, the bits here and there, was awesome and we wouldn't trade it for anything! It was great listening to Caden "telling it all" and watching & listening to Corban's smiles, giggles, and coos.
The hugs and kisses by all were the best.=-)
We love you dearly and October can't come soon enough!! =-)
Momma and Daddy

The top family picture is just beautiful. I really love it! Hope you enjoyed your trip to the states! I think we were in MI at the same time and I was so busy with photog. jobs I didn't even realize.
