They've arrived!

Everyone arrived safe and sound today! That being Auntie Cynthia, Uncle
Tom, and Logan's cousins Amelia, Nathaniel, and Nissa. When Daddy got
home, he was surprised and worried not to hear any noises at all. Then
he noticed a note indicated everyone was at the little park down the
back side of the neighborhood. So Dad hopped on the bike and rode on
down. Imagine his surprise when he only saw Uncle Tom, Auntie Cynthia,
Mommy, and Logan... but where was Dad's nieces and nephew? In a
scant few seconds later out they popped from behind a log, running and
bounding into their Uncle Tony's line of entry. There they all gave him
wonderful hugs and made Daddy feel really good to get such a warm
reception! After that, Dad and all the kids played 'jail' in which
Daddy was put on the playground and in jail and couldn't get out. Then
they played tag in which Dad tried to catch them and put them in jail,
followed by a game of tickle monster. Uncle Tom and Uncle Tony stayed
and played with the kids while Mom and Auntie Cynthia headed home to
prepare dinner. Soon thereafter we headed home ourselves, putting Nissa
on the bike seat and Logan being pushed in the runner jogger by Amelia
and Nathaniel.
For dinner we all had Beef Stroganoff (Sour Cream Beef as Liesl calls
it), but the jet lag was catching up with them all and it wasn't long
after dinner that everyone headed to bed.
By the way, today we also found out what In-Town Housing assigned us for
a home, should we choose to accept it. It was not the location of home
we would have liked, but we'll investigate it and give it a chance
before possibly rejecting it (if we do reject it, then we won't get
another chance and will have to stay here in our current 2 bedroom
flat). Mommy and Auntie Cynthia did go check out the backyard of the
new potential home today. From the sound of it, the backyard is almost
non-existent (about the same as our current backyard, the size of two
turnips). Didn't sound too pleasant so far. It is extremely
bewildering why the government paid for a heap of homes meant for
families (3-5 bedrooms) that are so closed in without any yard. You
have to wonder if humanity or 'heart' ever reaches into some of these folks.
