As of yesterday, all of our students have returned! Flights and trains and cars from all over the world it seems delivered our Liel kiddos safely back to our German home. Last night, the girls floor was absolutely wild...screams and laughter and giggles and hugs and gifts were exchanged from 4:00 in the afternoon through 11:00 in the evening when our last girl arrived. It was really sweet to listen to the girls and observe them from a distance. Despite the fact that they are not "kin," they are still family. It is beautiful how much they love one another, look up to one another, and care about one another. The Lord has certainly been faithful in establishing our spiritual family here because He knew that so many of us were leaving our parents and our siblings back home. This is my most recent breath of life--having my 11 brothers and sisters back. They fill me in ways that I never quite imagined.

This morning, before the kids left for school, we began our creative countdown...only 5 more weeks of school! Can you tell that they're excited? It was 8:30 in the morning when the picture was taken, but considering that this is the first day back and that some are still recovering from major jet-lag, I am impressed. Be sure to check out upcoming countdown pictures :)
