A welcome arrival

It was with great pleasure that we all received my parents return from their travels!! the vacation was extended from february to march then march to april. we were beginning to wonder if there would actually be a return date. It is customary that Filipinos bring balikbayan when they go to visit as well as when they return. Here's just a portion of what my parents brought to share. The family room was empty and clean before they returned.

The most precious and well received gift was their presence. We are so glad they arrived safely and that they were healthy enough to travel. We all missed their company dearly.
-cheek to cheek-
They flew into the L A airport then drove back home. So, the kids were woken up close to midnight to say hello
it didn't take long before the grogginess wore off

Lolo was surprised when we all said goodnight, that the boys invited themselves to fall asleep next to him!
Welcome Home Lolo and Lola

  1. Thank you Gina for sharing this pracious memory. It is the same in our culture (Ethiopian). My parents bring a lot of stuff to share too. I cant, wait to show Kaleb the pictures. What a blessing to have grand parents around. You are a very special person that God brought in my life. I hope we will keep in touch even if the boys might not be in the same school.
