Home Sweet Home

Well we have been home almost 2 whole days and what a great time it has been. We arrived in Calgary at 8:00pm on Wednesday, August 22 after a very long layover in London Heathrow but we finally arrived back on Canadian soil. We walked as we are on the worlds biggest mission: to get to the people we love who were waiting for us. We had a great welcoming party who were waiting for us: Frank, Yvonne, Dennis, Angelique, Sandy, Tara and of course 2 little boys who were very excited to see us: Jordan and Colin. When we finally cleared customs we walked through the magical doors and Tam walked right up to her little buddy, Jordan who had worked hard on making her a Welcome Home sign. Tears were shed as they exchanged the longest embrace and Patrick gave his parents the greatest biggest hugs ever. Frank had a parcel for Patrick that he gave him that Tam had shipped to their home address as it was easier to have Patrick's birthday present sent home and what was in the parcel you must be asking? But a Lego Volkswagon Van that Patrick said he would really like to have. :) Happy Birthday Honey, have fun building. We loaded the bags and headed to Airdrie to get a bite or drink and then headed to Red Deer where Patrick said goodbye to Dennis, Angelique, Colin, and his parents until Saturday as we were headed to Stettler to spend time with Jordan and Tam's family. It feels great to be home and we are looking forward to seeing everyone at Our Welcome Home Party on Saturday!
     We would like to thank everyone who helped make our Euro-trip possible. Thanks to Adri, Monique, Oma and Opa who opened their homes to us and helping us when we needed it. Thanks to Dennis, Angelique, Colin, Har, Karin, Rogier, Tamara, Rene, Geert-Jan and Roze for the fun times in Holland that we will never forget it. And of course to Marcel, Annette and Hans for the fun times too, they really meant a lot to us and hope to see you soon! :)We would also like to thank everyone who we met along the way who took us in and let us be part of your families we enjoyed absolutely every stop we made :) We of course would like to thank our parents for all the support, guidance and phone calls on our trip we couldn't have done it without you and now to start planning for our next trip whenever that may arise :)
