Soaked up every last minute with family....
Then, Tuesday at 11am we left our place in NJ to head to the airport. We arrived at our home in Brazil at 8pm on Wednesday. It was exhausting! To be fair, there is a three hour time difference, but still we arrived home wiped out! At home we found just about everything perfect. We are still getting our stuff in order....we wound up coming home with 6 full suitcases (7o lbs each since that is allowed to Brazil) plus two busting-at-the-seams-full carry ons and two outrageously heavy backpacks. Of course as we went through the airport we had to act like the carry-ons were light so we didn't have to check them....but I could barely put on my backpack on - Jeyson had to put it and take it off for me! Anyway we are working on getting organized. We also had to do a huge grocery store trip since there was literally nothing in the house food, cleaning, or hygiene related. There wasn't even any flour, laundry soap, or toothpaste so we had a HUGE trip to the store to do. We are all stocked up now and I'm back in the routine of cooking and everything already. Today (Monday) was our first day back at Asas where there is much to do. Right now we're scheduled for a preliminary meeting with one person from the leadership next Monday to begin discussing what our next plans are. He will then meet with the other leaders and we'll probably all meet again. At this point he's just seeing where we're at with everything. We have also been busy reconnecting with neighbors, students, and our church. It's been WONDERFUL to be back!
Then, just few days later our first niece, Charlotte was born across the world in VA.
Then we headed to NJ for one last hurrah (a holiday party with family) before catching our flight to Brazil. We are SO going to miss family and friends that live all over the States.

Jeyson's sister (who lives an hour away from us ) had her baby only a few days after we arrived. He was so precious.
