We'Re In UtAh!!!

There are NOT enough words to grasp how I feel about being home, and there is such a long story that I could tell about our 17hr journey home but I think that now that we're back no one will be reading this anymore, so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves and keep the words short:)

So Tuesday Travis finished his last final so to celebrate we all went to a breakfast diner we just discovered and ate before checking out of our apartment:

Then we traveled from Lublin to Poland on a Party train (the Euro cup has games being played in Warsaw and the fans were CRAZY and we were lucky enough to share a train with a dozen of them before hopping off and spending the night at another American Family's home, the Armstrongs:

And so after a fun night with them we woke up at 3:30am and prepared for our 6:55am flight to France.

This was 5am at the airport and right before another little boy showed up and literally started beating Maddix up. He was the MEANEST little kid I've ever met!

Waiting for our plane from Warsaw to France

The day was long and the flight was even longer. Maddix did surprisingly well and we met a nice family on the plane sitting across from us. And can I tell you when the plane FINALLY touched down we were ecstatic to get the HECK out of the airport! And there my mother and sister were, waiting to pick us up.

They took us to the Johnson's where we'll be staying the summer and then we made our way around town visiting people and taking care of business... and just trying to stay awake since although it was 3pm when we rolled into Provo, it was 11pm back in Poland. And so EVENTUALLY we made it to bed and after some minor jet lag we woke up to the most beautiful morning!

At 6:30am Maddix and G-pa made it outside and Maddix played out there all morning. He LOVES having a yard and a puppy at his disposal

She followed him and watched him the whole time he was out there

He missed having a piano to play

Okay: remember how I said we were ecstatic to get home, we well forgot Maddix's bag at the airport and had to drive back up there today to got pick it up. Once again his bag didn't make it home with us (this time it was our fault). Maddix slept the whole way up and back

So then we made our way over to Scott's to get a few things and play with his puppies. Maddix wasn't so sure about the little creatures that kept biting him but he eventually warmed up to them:

Kept having to sit and be with Uncle Scott

If you can imagine, after we left Scott's we went to Larisa's so Maddix could take cousin Keili her present and play for a little bit before dinner. It was so fun to see this little girl!

First time really Jumping on the tramp

First time seeing each other in 5months

Yes this was staged

I told them to say "cheese" so they looked at each other and said "Cheese" :)

We went back to the Johnson's and set up our room and unpacked all our summer boxes to finish out the night. Sorry to my family for not making it over! Tomorrow we'll be seeing you!
