Home Again Home Again Jiggity Jog

What a great homecoming!  Thank you Troyers and Browns for joining our families at the airport in Nashville last night.  It was so sweet to see you all when we landed. 

I now remember why I don't like O'Hare and Hartsville...we had a minor (which felt major) delay out of Chicago in one of those small regional jets.  After the space of a transcontinental superjet, it felt like a cracker jack box...and you know who was not pleased (Grace).  We encounterd some thunderstorms which added to the story of adventure and finally landed at 1115pm. 

Before leaving Korea yesterday, we ventured out to a new area and took our own tour of the Korean Stock Exchange.  Similar to the US, their major exchanges are now automated, so there wasn't a lot of action to see, but it was neat to visit.

It feels so good to be back in the US...and on our home turf.  She has really bonded well with Julie, which is a great sign...and likes me the best when she's being held by her new mommy.  Reed and Annie have been so excited, but understanding about her adjustment period. 

Thank you all for your prayers this past week and your encouragement on this trip.  I know we will remember this time fondly.  Thank you especially to the good Merrill Lynch team back in Florence who gives me freedom to be gone last week. 

We are blessed to have been able to bring our new daughter home...and thankful for her sweet life.  I have a feeling that this will certainly be the 'Summer of Grace', as we continue to bond and indoctrinate her into the life of the Trapps and Fergusons.
