Maddy arrived home today. She was away from home for nine months. Pictures tell the story better than words.
Max and Barb waiting for her just outside of the secure area at SeaTac airport.
The first hug. It was a long one.
Max gets the second hug.
Barb said she had never seen this sort of thing before.
Max and Maddy posed for me in the baggage claim area.
Maddy was an almost non-stop chatter box. She told us stories, described foods, how she can make juice out of any fruit, and explained how different things are here.
One of the first things she wanted was a McDonald’s hamburger and French fries. She got a cheeseburger. Max got a Big Mac.
