We have been home almost a week

and all is well. The pick-up trip went very smoothly. It was really fun to get to leave the hotel this time and see Antigua. Karis is doing just great, it has actually been much easier then we anticipated. I plan to stay on these boards to offer support to those still waiting...I got so much help from so many while we were waiting. Also, plan to watch this Hague situation which makes me so sad. Even though we are done with children (I'm due to have baby number 4 in October ) it makes me incredibly sad to think of all the children who will not find forever homes. Wishing you all the best...and wishing I was smart enough to know how to post a picture...

You are going to have a super busy house! Welcome back. Glad the pick up trip went well. Try to post a picture when you learn how. Unfortunately, I don't know how either so I can't give you directions. My husband does all the posting!
