Home again

We're home! Arrived about noon (Illinois time) on Friday.

Lots of emotions - glad to be home, sad to have left South Africa. Mostly, we feel just incredibly blessed.

On Friday Esther & Isaac came over to visit, as did Jane's dad briefly. Talked to Caleb & Andrew by phone, then early to bed, and a long night of sleep, and we felt pretty good on Saturday. We visited Jane's dad and brother, then went for a short visit to her mom in the nursing home. Then over to Mahomet to visit with Paul's family, including some out-of-towners, for a celebration of niece Abigail's graduation. Congratulations, Abby, on being a certified teacher!

Happy Mom's Day to all the mothers out there! We'll be with the Champaign ecclesia (and Paul's mother) this morning, then visit Jane's mom this afternoon.

We will try to do some catch-up postings in the next few days. For those following this in Illinois, we hope to see many of you soon.
