Day 10: A breath of fresh air

This morning we took a drive out to the girls home village of Holotta. It is about 40km from where we are staying and what a nice relaxing drive it was for us.  We couldn't take the girls but we took the boys so they could see the countryside.  It was very cool today because it rained last night which kept the dust down as well and that made the drive even nicer.  We got some wonderful pictures and video for the girls when they get older so they can remember where they were born.  

This afternoon we just hung out and began packing up everything for tomorrow.  We are ready to come home and we think Hannah is too because of some comments she has made when the translators talk to her about the trip.  Tigist knows she is going on a plane but we are a little worried about how she will react once we get going.  

We read about the blizzards in the northeast. I hope JFK does not get hit!!!

  1. Just a dusting of snow here in NY (maybe more on the way on Weds, after you all are nice and snug a home!)
    Looking forward to you being back. Praying and hoping your trip will be as uneventful as possible, but travelling with four little ones will be an adventure! Godspeed Farrell Clan!

  2. Can't wait for your phone call when you all land Tues @JFK. Just talked with Aunt Diane & she said that even if NY gets 6 inches of snow you'll all be ok b/c NY knows how to get prepared for it. Praying it all waits till after u are safely home in Columbus.
    Also praying that last travel leg of trip will be smooth & uneventful. As my Sis commented what an adventure traveling with four little ones.
    Love you,
    Momma/Nana
