We're Home!

Just to let all of you waiting and wondering if this process really works, is that is does! We just got home on Friday with our beautiful, perfect, wonderful son!!

Sometimes, when I look at him, I feel like I am dreaming, like he is not really here. Soooo, hold on all of you because you will be in my position very soon!

Here are some pictures my neighbors took when we got out of the car just arriving from the airport on our return trip, and the new grandparents met their first grandchild for the very first time.
