Finished! They Are In The United States Woo Hoo!!!!

AND THE FINAL LAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As many of you know i have been anxiously waiting the arrival of our new daugthter!! Well they have touched down in Miami a couple hours ago!!!!!
Made it through immigration and customs Whew!

And with the wonderful American Airlines issues, it do some work and $700 more dollars but they definitly have seats to make it the rest of the way home thank god!!!!!

So at 9:10pm CST They will arrive at our local Airport and The rest of us waiting will Greet My husband, and two daughters with utmost excitment( probably a few tears of joy)

Gee, who do i kiss and hug on first!!!!!!!!
The question of the day!!!

Thankyou all for you support, I am still here rooting the rest of you on until all the babies are home!!!!!!!!!!!

Brandee - this is soooo exciting. Thanks for the update and I can't wait to see pictures! Yes, kisses/ hugs to DH and older daughter because once the little one is in your arms you'll be a little distracted methinks.
