Katie's Homecoming

How exciting, the day that Katie came home after a 4 month stay in Guatemala! She actually flew right in to Devils Lake, so the whole family got to go meet her plane.


If you click on this picture to enlarge it, you can actually see her plane coming in just above the plane stuck on the pole.


Dad is explaining something as we watch the plane come in.




It's here, it's here!


Katie was the first one off! (There were only two passengers that got off in Devils Lake.)


Running to greet us


I think JJ got the first hug and kiss!


We had a little time to visit in the airport while we were waiting for Katie's suitcase, which actually never arrived.




Out into the crisp, fresh North Dakota air (sounds better than cold and windy!)

How you captured the "waiting" and then the excitement of Katie's arrival! It was nice she came to Devils Lake so you could all meet her AND you didn't have to wait long for the delectable (at least from the picture, altho I'd rather judge in person:) welcome home supper.

I thought Amy painted over the fruit in the kitchen? Maybe Mom can help...ask her about the "isn't it a wonder what a little paint can do" greeting, that we OFTEN got when we came home from school on the bus!

Katie - glad to hear you made it back safely! Lisa - would love the recipe for the chicken, it looks delish!

Bonnie-the fruit is now officially gone! Amy and I ended up turning the job over to professional painters and also got all our ceilings and stairway painted in the process.

Julie-I think I sent the chicken recipe for the family cookbook!

Maybe you can bring the chicken recipe to Portage? If you're coming that is! We'll be there Wed and Sun for sure, maybe Sat too, we'll see how things go. We were at Emo full-time this year. See you next week?
