WE ARE HOME!

In case anyone is checking in on this site from places abroad our team is home and safe!

Our flight from Ukraine to home took us through Warsaw Poland and the team spent the day with Leszek, Luke and Paulina Wakula in Warsaw. Thank you so much to the Wakula family for being such gracious hosts! We had a wonderful time and it was great to get to know you and see a little piece of your home land!

I am sorry we were unable to spend more time there than we did but we learned a tremendous amount Poland, World War II and the history of the great land of Poland. We have so many polish friends and family in the Grand Rapids area it is nice to be able to say we saw a little bit of their heritage.

Our luggage didn't arrive with us. Apparently when Lot Polish Airlines reviewed our reservation the flight from Chicago to Grand Rapids was looked up incorrectly and I did not catch it. My apologies to the team. Our luggage therefore arrived about 11pm EDT (which is 5am in Poland). Needless to say, it was a LONG day Tuesday!

Love you all and God willing we hope to see you all again soon!

  1. So glad to hear that you're all home safe and sound. The next few days will seem very strange as you try and adjust back to living in the US. There's no place like home. Hope you all can catch up on sleep and be sure to take some time to reflect on what happened to you in the last two weeks. Love, Dawn

  2. I must say, sleep patterns are goofed up.

    Our children have found their sin nature again as well. Apparently they left it home when we left for Ukraine. Anyway - it's back.

    All in all it is good to be home. I have never been so thankful for a Wendy's double, fries and a frosty -- and yes, I got my Lays potato chips. :-)
