April 16--Home at last

We're having an enormous glass of fresh milk, writing from the comfort of our own home with our own hi-speed internet connection when we're done we are going to sleep in our own magnificently comfortable bed with its' 14" mattress. Life is good.

The kids did a quick tour through the house and pronounced it "oching harashor" (very good). Our Pug dog Zoe has risen to the challenge and is working hard to make two new people love (and feed) her. We weren't home ten minutes before she brought her favorite toy ("The Precious") to Julia to play fetch. She also made a power grab for the apple slice that Julia was eating, but Julia was too quick for her.

The airplane rides went well. Both kids thought that they were pretty cool machines and we got oohs and ahhs with every new feature. The tray table and flip down TV screens were very impressive. The crew spoiled them on the leg from Almaty to London, since it was their first flight, and by the time we got to London they were stuffed with food and loaded up with goodies . We were pretty impressed with British Airways.

We overnighted in London at a *really nice* Holiday Inn near Heathrow. After the Almaty hotel, it was like heaven. Hot showers and normal beds never felt so good. The Denver trip was uneventful, and it was a huge relief to be back in the US.

We'll update some more tomorrow, if we can figure out when tomorrow is.

Welcome back home! We missed you - lunch has not been the same without you! It is usually quiet in the office here (simply because it is often empty here). We will have to lunch on Thursday - are you in the office then?
