We're back!

We arrived back in Haifa on Monday morning after a long trip from Manila through Bangkok. We had a ten-hour layover in Bangkok, but thankfully we were able to get a dayroom in the airport so we were able to get some much needed rest, relaxation and a hot shower! Our friend Kurt picked us up from the airport, we were so glad he came because with so much luggage and Enna-Marie to carry it would have been very difficult to get home by train and taxi. We had to get used to the cold in Israel again after enjoying 30+ temperatures for over six weeks in Cambodia and the Philippines.

Although it's good to be home again, we of course also miss our dear family and friends. Enna-Marie is always holding the family picture recognizing and pointing to everyone! She misses especially her ate's (cousins). It was mom's birthday yesterday, and so we had a chance to talk briefly with her and kuya Nur. When we learned the whole family had gone to the mall to watch a movie we wished we were there with them. Happy birthday mom, and enjoy your remaining stay in Manila before you go back to Kidapawan!
