Our travel back home was smooth sailing. Everyone slept well on the long leg over the ocean which made the rest manageable. We were so grateful for all the prayers.
What a sweet welcome home we received at the airport! The kids were blown away and felt so special to have friends and family there and excited to see us. We went to the Alamo Cafe where we ate hot sauce and tortillas to our hearts, or stomachs content. Boys were ready to crash hard on way home, but got great second wind after getting to the house.
It felt like a surreal dream to walk through the house. We have grown in appreciation for the home we have, the beauty that surrounds us and friends and family that are nearby. We were all giddy just walking around and having our comforts close by.
We are all adapting to time change well. Ethan had a pretty sizable melt down today. Out of the blue he started crying and asking why we made him go live in Israel and that he never wants to go there again. Poor baby! Broke my heart. I guess in our own ways, we are all looking back thinking, "what was that all about?!" I know it made us stronger as a family and as individuals, but the challenges that came with the experience have us all reeling a little bit. It will take time to truly "unpack" from the summer.
