Home Sweet Home
We made it!
Last night was the first night that the children slept at night! Jet lag with Littles is a big drag. They are adjusting really well and we are reaching a place of peace and happiness which is much better than fatigue and anxiety.
We tossed out the "don't visit us" rule as we spent so much time bonding in Russia we are not worried about it now. If you do want to visit, we have a few requests:
- Please arrive empty-handed; we want the children to experience people, not things. This doesn't mean you can't bring a casserole -- just leave it in the car and we'll sneak out to fetch it.
- Don't feed or offer sweets.
Oops -- gotta go . . .
edited to add that we were greeted at the airport by Jamie's folks and picked up by my brother Tim. Here are the first photos of the children with their new relatives.

How wonderful!
I am so glad your family has made it back to the states. I followed your journey closely for the past month. Thank you for posting ups and downs each day.
So happy that you are home and settling in. How did the kids react to your other "children" (ie goats, rabbits, dogs, etc). Know that you all remain in our prayers!
So glad to hear ya'll are settling in well. Best wishes & look forward to the pics:)
Feeling your pain, my girl didn't sleep at night for a few weeks. We adjusted to the new time at different intervals.
So happy you are home!! Following your journey has been such fun.

So glad you're home and to finally hear from you! Now I'm dying to know what happened that you had to say "oops, gotta go!"
