Today at 2:00pm in Budapest, Trent & I walked off the plane to meet the welcome committee of the rest of our family. They had signs and cameras and hugs. Also, Duci came along for the ride. It is so great to be back together after almost 7 weeks apart.
Someone else very important came to Budapest yesterday! George & Laura Bush made a visit. We saw Air Force One and a smaller US plane at the aiport. Then, as we drove home, US Flags lined the streets and bridges along with hundreds of policemen. There were police every 50 feet along the main road from the airport into town. We listened to Bush’s speech on TV. It was given at the citadel with a beautiful view of the city behind him. It isn’t so often that the president comes to town when you live in the US. Overseas, it is a huge deal.

What a welcoming committee…even the Pres!
We’re soooo glad you’re all together again! Do you think you can get them to put out all the flags again when we come visit? What do you think of your furry addition?
If you come see us, I’ll see what I can do on the flags. I’m sure when the embassy finds out that you are coming, they’ll roll out the red carpet
As far as the dog, I think he is really cute, but he doesn’t like me too much. He barks at me every time he sees me and he is pretty much scared to death of me. Hopefully, he’ll warm up over time.
