Home 3 months already!
My how time flies. I saw Myrna's update and only then realized how long we've been home and I haven't posted an update yet... shame on me!
We are doing great. We also went through some adjustment stuff in the beginning but I think it was mostly me suffering a bit of baby shock. We had a really rough process (mostly agency blues) and that all seemed to takes its toll on me... I crashed hard when the kids came home.... mentally anyways. Three weeks of virtually no sleep was a little rough on top of it all. We also had some emergency medical stuff to take care of with our son and both kids were really sick with parasites and a viral infection.  Finally everyone was healthy and we started our routines. Low and behold... as everyone who's been through this has said before.... eventually that rough patch passes and then there is absolute bliss.  The kids are growing amazingly fast. It seems like they change every week. Our little girl is walking now and our little boy is cruising right along behind her.
