We're home!

This was our Gotcha Day photo. I'm so glad we've got our pumpkin and our hom.

How exciting..we're home....we're home...we're home!! 18 hours of flying, airport waiting, screaming and running kids (not mine), and one delayed flight. We made it home.

Alina was a super trooper. She slept about an hour at the airport while we were waiting to board and one hour nap on the plane. We got so lucky and got bulkhead seats during the trip. My crutches/bum knee got us those seat so God was watching out for us. The flight was super full. We were able to put her down on the floor with a bunch of pillows and a blanket I bought for about an hour for a nap and another hour for playing. But the rest of the time she was wired and bored. Andy was a great entertainer. We would take about an hour each and alternate.

She was so loopy when we were waiting in Atlanta. Both she and I fell asleep for the 30 minute flight. One of my best friends Christina and her daughter picked us up from the airport with a 'Welcome Home Alina' sign. So sweet.

Alina slept all night and so did we. She's taking a lenghthy nap now. She was cranky but played a little this morning. Ignored the dog even though this is the first time she's seen one to our knowledge. Watches the cat like a hawk though which is funny. We've got so much laundry and clean up. Life is back to real...but so changed. Thank you all for your support with the trip and being such a great cheering section.

I'll still be blogging as well update things. I know some of you will fall off now becuase we're just a boring old at home family now. But this has been such an amazing journey. Unbeleivable in the time that it's taken and now that journey is finished and we start a new one.

Much love to all.
