Mother and baby are at home...and I will be, too

Joy and the baby (Amilia Kate) went home yesterday afternoon: details and picture are on Joy and Mark's blog.

Abbie was there for the event, but I was away from home, too.  I had suggested Abbie wait until I get there in two weeks before seeing Amilia, but do you think anyone would listen to me? At the exact moment Amilia was born, I was giving a class at the Baptist seminary near Lisbon. It's been a full week that started with a Pastors' retreat and then three nights of a seminar (3 hours per night) and two full days of consultations at the embassy.  

Mother and baby are already home...Grandpa won't be home until tonight.  My trip to the States is set for October 2.
