Back to Africa...

Yesterday we said goodbye to Uncle Steven, Aunt Monica, Lacie and Nathan. They had a layover in Atlanta before the long flight back to Swaziland, and we got to spend their last few hours in the states with them. Monica's good friends, Jennifer and Stephanie, were able to be there too. Thanks, Jen, for sending these pictures!

Uncle Mike and Nathan have a chat.

Snuggled up with sweet Lacie.

Mike and Monica get ready to say goodbye.

See how sweetly Nathan is reaching over to give Caroline a little pat? Well, what you can't see is that Caroline rared back and popped Nathan in the eye, making him cry then and everytime Caroline got near him. Nathan may be the only one that was NOT sad to say goodbye to his family.
One last shot before we said goodbye.

Steven, Monica, Lacie, and Nathan--we are so grateful for you and the chance to spend some time together over the past few weeks. We love you very much!
