We are home!!!

Thank you all. We are back at home and the girls, our two 9 month olds, Emery and Vivian,did great on the plane ride home - a few tears, but overall good. We arrived home to a large family greeting us, which was so wonderful and something we truly appreciate. Vivian is sharing a room with our son and she has slept thru the night and still asleep!! Yeah! Today with be a big day as we have to go visit our son's school and meet his teacher, so Vivian will experience her first school trip. We are so excited to be home with all of our kids. We will post some photos soon.

To all we meet on our trip - we are glad you are bringing your children home. To all visiting - we will you the best of luck in your journey. And to those waiting...hang in there, we will keep you in our prayers.
Please keep us updated on your jouneys.
Kristie
