Did ya know?? Did ya know???

Exactly one month from today...WE FLY HOME!!! Yep...today is August 14th and we arrive back on American soil on Sept. 14th!!!! What a surreal feeling!  Many feelings of excitement but also some feelings of sadness to leave this beautiful area. And we have so much to do yet!! :)  But, we miss our family and freinds terribly and cannot wait to see everyong! We're also ready to NOT always look and sound dumb b/c we don't know the language;) 

This past week Rylee is talking and thinking so much more about her American friends...
1. She wrote this note...
      "Dear Friends,
              I miss you in America home, and I really wish I was there with you guys. I can't wait to play with   
              you soon!              
                                                  Love,
                                                    Rylee

*she was going to write it out for EACH friend and mail it, but it ended up being too long of a message so she finally looked at me and said, "ok mom, just send in on computer!"

2. Today she used her watercolors to paint a picture of Carsen, Lauren and her all holding hands!  She said, "I can't wait to hug them again!"

So...her mind is wandering back home just like ours!  Good think we have lots of fun things to occupy our last month!!

Love you all -
