Well, my friends, we have come to the end of a rollercoaster two weeks. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you faithful readers, for your care and concern for the girls (and for us!). They will be arriving home tomorrow, Delta flight 1698, at 1:18pm. If you would like to meet them at the airport, I’m sure they would be delighted to see any of you. Unfortunately, I will be unable to make it, so your presence might make it up to them
Mary and I have officially finished our Big Project, and your are all invited to see it in the next few weeks. I’m sure the explanation of the project will follow in a proceeding post. We have also finished the first of our mukluks (a knitting project in which we were involved). Pictures of those are available on visiting The Residence
These weeks have been so much fun, and although I look forward very much to the return of the International Travelers, it will be sweet sorrow, as Mary and I will no longer have that special bonding time we were enjoying.
Anyway, if you would like to give the girls a big surprise, please comment a welcome-home message to them (on this post) sometime tonight or tomorrow. I know it would mean a lot to them.
We’ll have to get together to look at pictures soon, people! Thank you for keeping up with us for the past 15 days – it’s been great!

Julianna ~
Thank you so very much for your informative and interesting writing. I have been enjoying it. I pray that the girls have a safe trip home and that there are many hugs & kisses all around. Sorry you won’t be there, but neither will I, so don’t feel too badly.
My love to all of you in North Carolina,
Sylvia

Hi Morgan & Christine ~ Welcome home!
Julianna has done a wonderful job keeping us all updated about happenings of the “International Travelers” while you’ve been away. It will be interesting for you to read her take on what you’ve been doing.
I’ve really enjoyed knowing bits about your journey. Thanks Julianna!
You have both been sorely missed. I have prayed for your safety and health while you’ve been away. I’ve prayed for travel mercies to abound. God is so good!
By the way, one of my favorite parts was your mom and Julianna sharing how your spirit sored after finally getting situated!
Welcome home hugs & love to both!

Welcome home, ladies! Katelyn and I hope that your trip home was much less eventful than your trip over
We have enjoyed reading about your trip and hope to hear some of it first-hand in the near future.
We missed you at the Election Night Party. The friends, food, and fellowship were fabulous, but the Election results were totally disappointing.
Love,
Mrs. Fletcher and Katelyn

I have actually been reading the blog all 15 days and I’ve loved it! (thanks Julianna for such great posts!) I cannot wait to set a date for 27 dresses and German pancakes, we will have to do that asap.

Morgan & Christine -
Welcome home! While it has been good to keep up with your travels through your father and the blog posts, my family and I look forward to the next meeting of our community so that we can hear about your experiences directly! We also look forward to seeing your pictures. I’m sure that having now been in The Land you are able to look forward even more to your next trip there, whenever that may be…
BTW – J, K, J, and M thought you should have taken them along.

Welcome Back Morgan and Christine!
I can’t wait to hear about your travels! I’m sure you have exciting stories…stories that only happen when Squicciarini girls are out and about.

Thank you all for taking the time to comment – your messages really meant SO much to the girls. They are very touched that you’re all happy to see them again

(ahem) Yes, thank you all for commenting – your messages meant SO much to me and Christine.
We are both touched that you’re all apparently happy to see us again…
(MonteCristo, would you stop reading my script?)
Seriously, it was amazing to get home and realize you were all keeping track of the trip. Believe me, Christine and I would have called and emailed far more frequently if we knew you were all waiting for news! We look forward to seeing all of you.
Even you, Anna…
and you’re exactly right – I’m convinced now that certain situations only happen when Squicciarini girls travel, making for great stories later!!
