We made it back -- a week ago!!!
The past week home has been a whirlwind. Campbell, our new family member is doing great. Running around with 2 one-year olds is quite an adventure. And I thought teaching ninth grade kept me busy!!!
I'm attaching a couple of pictures of our pick up trip. The first time we saw her smile, her first chicken McNugget. . . just really good memories! I learned a lot about the embassy while we were there. Did you know that people will have pink for days, even WEEKS, before some attorneys will pick it up! Stay behind them if you're close!!! It really is taking about 48 total hours to get pink from the time submitted unless there's a problem. If yours is taking longer -- check it out! Good luck to all of you still waiting. It is so worth the wait. m. PS.

I just thought of you today and wondered if you had made it home yet. Good to see that there was no hold up for pink!
Campbell is just beautiful..........I love her hair. How is Lucas adjusting to being a big brother? Take care and drop by now and then (though with 2 toddlers it will be tough  )!!Take care, Lori
