Thinking of Home [Emma and Lily]
Emma:
I’m really looking forward to getting back to America. Our first plane leaves at 5am, so we have to be at the airport by 3am, so we have to get up at about 1:30 to load up the car and take the hour-long drive to the airport. We will get back to our house at about 12am that night and hopefully be able to fall asleep by 1. I can’t wait to see my friends, grandparents, people at school and church, and my cats, my chickens, my lizard I have yet to buy, and anybody’s horses. I also want to be back in my house and to have grass and trees almost everywhere, even if all the leaves are off the trees and the grass is covered by snow like I want. Getting water out of the tap and not having to boil milk and having it cold is going to be great.
Lily:
It has gotten surprisingly cold here this winter; every day I wear my coat and slippers around the house, because we don’t have heating. I am very happy, though, despite this chilly weather, because we will be home soon – in seven days, I’d like to add – and my parents are always talking about airplane seating arrangements and what we are taking home, and what we are not. There’s lots and lots of things I’m looking forward to in America, but I’ve realized there’s some things I’ll miss about India, too.
Things I Cannot Wait to get Home to:
Grandma and Grandpa
Alex, Maggie, Tessa, and Annie
My house
My bedroom (this could fall under the category of “My House,” but I think it deserves its own category)
My church
A backyard to play in
My kitchen, especially my dishwasher
All the delicious food Grandma makes
Grandpa’s Seven Layer Dip (*hint* *hint* for when we go to dinner at your house for the first time in 6 months, Grandpa)
Zelda, Bleu Cheese, Gidget, and Parker. And, I guess Willa.
Lots of other things that would take too long to mention
Things I’ll Miss About India:
Shrimps as long as my hand
Charcoal, my favorite restaurant in the world
Going to Coffee shops all the time
My Brain has gone blank; I can’t think of anything else

Looking forward to seeing you guys! :)
The Hutch's
Can't wait to see you next Wednesday!!! Looking forward to our special dinner on Thursday.
Love, Grandma
I got the *hint*. You shall have seven-layer bean dip a day after your return next week. Now it would be very helpful if someone would hand me the recipe and the ingredients (*hint**hint*). But if that doesn't happen, I'll go online and make the dip happen somehow anyway.
Love, Grandpa
