It was a success.  The girls did great flying with just me (a big worry of mine before we left).  I couldn't ask for better travelers.  We arrived in Atlanta and I got to see my soccer buddy from high school, Jenny Smith.  Thanks Jenny for keeping Mom and helping with the pick-up.  :)  After a day in Tullahoma (filled with gator rides and good home-cookin), Mom headed with the girls and me to Nashville to drop off my grandmother (GG to the girls) and head to Searcy for the big surprise.  Because of timing we drive straight to Little Rock to pick up my mother-in-law, Memaw.  From there, we drove to Searcy and successfully surprised Katy in the parking lot.

Katy is the last of 5 kids to graduate from Harding.  She skipped her senior year and has always jokingly told us that we all had to be present at her college graduation.  We all had very good reasons to not be able to attend (Pat was speaking at the Pepperdine Lectures, Nate was finishing up course work, Collin was busy with his semester).  We ALL showed up, and it was a very special time (short but special).  We were sad to say goodbye to Memaw in Searcy, but we are so thankful we could work out a way to see her.

After graduation, we spent a week in Tullahoma.  I got to spend time with great friends, eat such wonderful food, have free baby-sitting, and enjoy the comforts of home.  There is no place like it.  At the end of our stay, we were past ready to see Greg.  We left Tullahoma at 9:30 in the morning to get to Atlanta for our 5:00 pm flight.  We arrived in Lima at midnight, and then waited to leave for Arequipa at 5 am!!!  Crazy lay-over, but once again, the girls did so great.  We looked like we had that schedule when Greg greeted us at 6:30 the next morning.

Believe it or not, I deleted a ton of photos.  If you are interested, here is a little glimpse of our time home...
