WE'RE HOME!

After two long but incredibly rewarding weeks, we finally step off the airplane and into the arms of our awaiting family and friends. You never really understand how lucky we are as Americans until you visit a foreign country and return home again.... especially with a new baby girl.

To return home with a child you can call your own makes this the greatest homecoming of our lives. To be met by the most loving family and friends makes our arrival even more moving.

Met like Lindbergh's crossing the Atlantic, with cheers and signs and all the fanfare of returning heroes, we hugged and kissed everyone and introduced our loving daughter to her new grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends. What a wonderful moment... making our trip and our little girl even more special.

Thank God we are home, safe and sound, surrounded once again by a family that loves us and has been waiting for this little life to join ours.

Now, the real journey begins......
