Half way home!

Hello once again!! Just a quick update....We have arrived a little bit early in Amsterdam, and are waiting for a cafe to open for breakfast. It is 7:00 a.m. here, and midnight back home. It is hard to believe we will be traveling for another 17 hours! We are all SO ready to see the faces of our family and friends!! Two of our team members (Holly and Julie) have already departed from us, as they are on a different flight back to Detroit. It was sad to see them go, and to realize that our time together is quickly coming to an end. We have depended on each other like family, and have come to know each other as "our Africa family". Speaking of family, there were several U.S. families (one from Wisconsin, one from Minnesota, and one from Iowa) bringing home new members of their family from Ethiopia. It was fun to watch all of the babies on the plane! And it made those of us with babies that much more excited to see our own!! We'll see you shortly...

Love from Amsterdam,

The Africa Team
