Welcome back to the good 'ol USA!

How sweet it is...to be back in the USA...

We came home to an amazing welcoming committee - our west coast Willard contigent!
Rick, Marcy(better known as Aunt JuJu), Brad, Brian, Ry, Deb, Tom, DeDe and Grandma Pat served up a phenomenal homecoming on May 15th in Los Angeles. We were only in LA for a short period of time (all total around 12 hours) before we left for Birmingham the next morning. Marcy Willard spearheaded a memorable time. We enjoyed delicious food (no noodles or rice thank you very much), balloons, a cake, tons of pics, and precious time together with family. Words cannot express our sincere gratitude to our California family. Everyone truly went the extra mile. They picked us up (and don't forget our 15 bags of luggage), fed us, put us up for the night, gave us precious time for a shower after being on a plane for 17 hours - then turned around and took us back to airport - all in a few short hours!!!!!!! Did we mention the delicious home cooked food???????? Sam was ready to see his cousins Brad and Brian...he talked about it for 17 hours on the plane. Their reunion was wonderful and they played and played for hours - long past their bedtime.

We are so happy to be back and look forward to getting our boys settled in Birmingham.
