We are home / Here they are!!!
Believe it or not we are finally home we actually got home last Saturday at midnight. We were gone exactly 21 days. We had quite an "experience". But for now I'd like to say we are so thrilled to have our beautiful children home. They traveled very well. And they are adjusting to their new life amazingly. Our little girl has figured out we don't understand her so she guestures and signs to us what she wants. Her english is coming at amazing speed. Our little man is doing great, sleeping through the night since day one. eating everything in sight. We are so proud of them. I will write more of our experience later for now here are Alexandra Elizabeth and Nicolae Oleg
Proud mama
