we step off the plane come thru customs to see this.. how very nice.. more than anything my kristin.. that was so supportive.. this day.. was so sweet.. as they walked me to my car.. JILL.. JILL.. I HAVE MISSED YOUR FUNNYS!!!!!! telling me.. we don't care what you say.. we are showing up with dinner at 530!! and thanks to jill she grabbed a suit case.. we had decided to leave.. never mind we had hauled it all the way from japan..
also .. tad had just helped himself to tagging along with kristin.. with all that what going on.. jonah hadn't seen them slip away.. I hurried and ran to you..knowing you would SO WANT to ride with them!! when I asked you.. " hey they are getting in the collins car. do you want to ride home with them?? I still remember that head shake.... then you bolted across the street.. we ALL were delirious .. as it was a blessing you didn't get hit by a car!!
so much excitement.. so much catching up to do!!!!

kristin later told me.. that while going thru the drive thru at wendys.. you were like YES they can understand everything we say!!!!!

funny how little by little being home.. japan slipped away very fast.. as I remember going to good earth.. to turn to ask for help.. as what was what.. to all the sudden go DUH!! i can READ!!!! that was awesome:)
