Back in America

We arrived and were greeted by happy grandparents.

And this is where we will call home for a good bit of time.

We came back the week of Thanksgiving and the boys enjoyed a game of croquet with Papa while we waited for lunch.

Jumping in leaves. I think only Dawson has ever jumped in leaves and that was a small pile in Albertville so this was basically a first for the boys.

And while we are enjoying things in America, Dawson's journal entry sums up how we've felt many days.

On a happier note, within a week of our arrival to NC, Kenan learned how to ride a bike without training wheels. Since there aren't straight and open roads to bike in Mali, he really hasn't biked at all, even with training wheels. He made great strides very quickly.
