We're Home!!!
We have been home since Friday evening, and everything is going great. Ian is such a happy and smiling baby. Our trip was really uneventful and the embassy was so easy. We went to the Artisan's Market and got some wonderful things. We also had a great time with Diane, she was picking up her little angel also. The immigration in Houston only took about 1/2 hour, not as bad as we had heard. We took an earlier flight home, instead of waiting. It will happen for all of you folks also. Thanks for being such a great support during this journey of our lives. We look forward to sharing your journeys also. Here are just a few pictures we have taken.

Thanks!!!
Thank you everyone for all your kind words. We are so happy to have our family together. Our lives are so blessed with these two children.
vh9076: Our daughter Lindsey is just so thrilled with her little brother. I was worried at first because for three years it has been just her, but she eased my mind the minute we brought him through the door. Waitingforthem: UGH!! is right. I am so glad we went through Houston. We had a total of 8 babies on our flight, and we were the 2nd family in. All worked out well.
