Day 10: Come'n Home

9am This morning(5pm there) they made it through customs and said it felt
awesome to "be on their way."

9:30am (5:30pm)The kids are bouncing off the walls with excitement while waiting to
board the plane and Seare keeps asking "How much longer? Is it time yet?"

10:30am (6:30pm) Text read, "The Hagler family is about to bard the first leg of our
journey home from Ethiopia."

10:40am (6:40pm) My mom and I are at the botanical gardens with the kids and begin
to pull out the tissues when we received the text reading "Every time I hear
the words "mom" and "dad" I can't help but tear up. God has blessed us so
much."

4pm (1am) They safely landed in Dubai (now 9 hours ahead). Everyone is good.
Netsanet got a little airsick, but she got to feeling better.

They will begin their 16 hour flight home and we'll finally get to experience real instead of virtual hugs tomorrow evening!
