...And now there are four!

We are happily home, getting over the jetlag, and adjusting to life with our energetic one-year old and her big brother. The flight home went much better than we had anticipated; Kai is a really good traveler!!

And although it was a busy weekend, it was great to get back. My parents and some of our friends did a covert mission to welcome us home with pink bows, balloons and ribbons everywhere along with gifts for Kai and Austin and food supplies galore! Thanks to all our sweet friends and family for making us feel so special and for the love you have for Kai!! She is a lucky girl to be so embraced so quickly.

Kai has been pure joy since getting home, especially considering all the changes she has been through in the last two weeks. She is laughing and is just generally a happy girl! And she LOVES her big brother like crazy - - - it is SO cute to see her face light up when she sees him or even hears his voice. He is getting used to the idea of sharing mom and dad....

I will have more pictures to upload in the next day or so - - - - MANY thanks to you all!!

WELCOME HOME!!! So glad to hear that all went well. I wish I lived closer and could have been part of the "covert mission", but my prayers were with you anyway! Give yourself some grace as you try and catch up on sleep and get back in the swing of things. It took us several weeks to feel like we were totally over the jetlag. Take care!!!

WELCOME HOME!!!!!!!!! Get some rest and enjoy life as a family of 4! I can't wait to meet Kai and see that cute smile in person.

How wonderful for you. I enjoyed visiting with you and Kai on Sunday. She is beautiful and appears so content in her new home. I wish your family nothing but joy. I will be thinking of the four of you:-)
