WERE BACK!!





OH it feels great to be back home! The kids did pretty good on the way back. They didn't like the fact that we had to wait to get on the plane. They wanted to get on right a way! They were so excited and kept pointing out all the planes they saw. It was a long day and on the last little flight from Atlanta they all fell asleep. Our parents and some sweet friends of ours met us at the airport and it was SO great to see everyone!! Thanks for the flowers and snacks and balloons and welcome signs! The kids loved it!
So when we got home the kids were so excited and were running around looking at everything. John loved his car bed and Catalina just kept looking at her room and smiling and went straight to looking at all the clothes! Our parents blew us a way with all the things they did while we were gone! Downstairs they turned our main room into a play area, and it looks great!!!! The kids were so excited to see all the toys and the "pool of balls." We went to church on Sunday and it was SO great to see everyone and have them welcome us like they did!! When we got home the kids went straight for the pool. They love the water! Between Sunday and yesterday they have been in and out of the water about 8 times and gone through all 3 of their bathing suits, about 20 towels, 6 different pairs of PJs, and about 10 different changes of clothes too!!! I think they don't know what to do about all the new things and just want to keep trying everything out. :) We will have to put a stop to that soon as I can not keep up with that much laundry.

Esto es maravilloso!

What a long wait you guys had, but what how wonderful things seem now! I am so glad that everyone is home safe and happy! Those three sure did have a hard start, but the durn kids are so blessed now! What an amazing thing. I am glad to have a front row seat to enjoy it all!

BTW I met a lady that lives about 1/4 mile from us that adopted a girl and a boy from Colombia two years ago, I think they were catalina's age. Melodie or I can send you her email, she really wants to meet you guys.

I bet it felt great to sleep in your own beds! I'd love to see pictures of the kids rooms when you get a chance! Otherwise, we might just have to come over and see them for ourselves :).

So fun, I can't wiat til it's our turn! Does it seem real yet, or do you still feel like you are keeping someone else's kids? Seems like it would take a while for it sink in. So excited for you guys.

Welcome home! I am glad to see your flight went well. Brian was really excited too when we went to the airport to come home. He couldn't wait to get on the plane. You and your children have been blessed. Take care!
