Visiting America...

Well, we’ve officially been back in England for one week now and it’s like we’ve never been gone.  Our time back in the States was everything we hoped that it would be.   It’s not very often that you get to dedicate three full weeks to spending time with family.   So one has to wonder how three weeks can go by so quickly and still leave you feeling like it wasn’t enough. 

Although we knew our time in the States would be busy and packed with visits with family and friends, we were able to truly enjoy each moment because we knew that waiting for us back here in Truro, would be days like today.  As I write this, I’m sitting in our favorite Truro coffee shop on a Saturday morning, watching people fill the streets and shops (now decorated for Christmas) as I wait for Katie to join me on her lunch break from work.   It’s a great life that we’ve built here and no matter where we live Truro will always be on the list of the many great places we’ve gotten to call home. 

It feels a bit odd updating our blog with things we did back in America, but after being away for so long, reuniting with family and friends, meeting new babies and looking at places that were once so familiar with a new and different perspective, is as much a part of this experience as every other trip we’ve taken.

Like many other trips we’ve taken, it would take days to cover all the details, but instead, we will try to provide the highlights that made our time back home so amazing.  I’ll let Katie write about Halloween in Las Vegas and our first days back in Wisconsin and I will write about our time with the growing Henry family and our return the UK.  More to come soon…
