Just too excited - my child no.5 (twin daughter Marie Joelle) is in the air. She left Auckland one hour ago and will arrive in Seoul in further nine hours. She spent one year in New Zealand volunteering in a college, will spend a few days in Seoul and Sunday 13 she hopefully will safely land in Frankfurt airport. Meanwhile also our Southafrican guest daughter Magrietjie and her sister Esther were here for a few days and will get back from a round trip to our home July 16 and will see also Marie again after 4 years. We'll have reason to celebrate. My other kids have lots of plans to welcome her sister and guest-sister with sister :-)

Hope you started cooking! Have a wonderful time reuniting with everyone!

How wonderful to have and be among all these beautiful young people. I know how joyful it will be to welcome you daughter back home along with all the others. You are really blessed/Lillian

Thanks all, she safely arrived in Seoul and after exploring this "pretty
busy" city she'll finally return to Frankfurt on Sunday :-)

Such happy news...enjoy your reunion...

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy

Yea! I know you have missed your daughter while she was gone. I'm so glad that the family will be together again. Have a wonderful reunion.

I know you are thrilled to have all your family together again! What a reunion for you... I love your photos, makes me remember our time in Germany. What part of Germany are you? We lived in Swabisch Gmund and my son was born in Stuggart. That was ages ago.-Toogie

How lovely they all are, oh, and handsome! I know you are excited and I'm excited with you! There's going to be lots of celebrating in your family. Enjoy!
