Zane Is HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that Zane is home.
After 36 hours of flying and going from 100 degree weather to a cold 22 degrees we are finally over the jet lag. We got home last Wednesday after spending 3 weeks in Vietnam and he is doing wonderful. He acts like he has always been home and we are so grateful for that. Here are pics of him with my oldest son and I also included a pic of Chloe with her BFF Abigail.
Thanks everyone for your prayers !
