I figured I ought to get these on here. Looking back I realize what a special moment this was. Two years flew by to us but I think at times it crawled for Diane and Allan as they sat in their apartment, in another country and pondered about doing the Lords work knowing they were where they are supposed to be and that it took them away from their family.

I sat back and took as many pictures as I could. Grand-children were moving so fast I couldn't keep up. Diane and Allan pretty much flew down the escalator running to their children. I love these pictures. Some are tender moments that show us the emotion of what it's like to be away from your loved ones for so long.

We're Home!


These are the last I have. Now that they are home I'm guessing Diane will take over. It's been a fun two years getting all these stories and pictures in my inbox. I'll miss it.

Love, Kristina (daughter-in-law)
