Home!

Everything went very smoothly for us - J was upset at first when her FF left but she seems to be adjusting well.

Here are some pics:

J at the Houston airport....J - Houston Airport c.JPG

Sisters - Ana and J.....A + J 9-4-08 c.JPG

Ana was very excited when we arrived home and spent the evening showing J toys and crawling on the floor with her.
