Taylor and Ally arrived Sunday evening, April 26, 2009. It was nearly mid-night by the time we got them home. They had missed their connecting flight in Rome and had to wait 12 hours to get the next flight. There's not a lot of air traffic into or out of Tirana, Albania. We took them out to Kruja the next day.  They loved the 1 hour furgon ride. Here Taylor, Ally and Mom are talking to a local woman who lives within the walls of the castle at Kruja. She really wanted us all to come in for some refreshments.
Walking up the hill to the castle at Kruja, Albania.
Tuesday afternoon we headed back out to the airport. This time to meet Meleah and Buck. Meleah had some very exciting news for us. Number 9 grandchild is on the way and due this November.
Heading to the Tuesday evening Fireside it was a little rainy. Buck is wearing my tie, my coat, but his own tennis shoes.
After the fireside we visited one of Mom's favorite places, the French cafe in Tirana. The deserts are to die for. We only had a 20 hour overlap with all 4 children. Not nearly long enough. It was so fun to have all 4 in our apartment.
