ANTICIPATION

In anticipation:

2 days for us 1 day for them

We are on the family count down for G & G Thomson to come home for good!

They will say good bye to Australia a land that they have come to love and people they will always remember. They will return to kids they haven't seen for almost a year (some of us) and grandchildren that they also haven't seen for 10 months, and a grandson who they have never seen. I am speaking on the behalf of my siblings but I am sure they are just as excited to have our parents back in the country and close as well as the grand kids are so ecstatic. The HUB on the July 1st get together has been flying for the last 5 months and with the arrival of G & G on Friday this will put us all at the mercy of the "Hurry up and wait game". For July to arrive any sooner than it could, so we can all be together and have the family unite before we start to spread any further. The oldest grand kids, being 18, will hit College or University and 1 off to a mission. Life will start to take a different track and with that we all need to be prepared to keep the doors open even when we depart after this long awaited July reunion.

Gosh . . . do you think I miss my family?
