Talking We are home-introducing Anton

We we abke to come back 5 days earlier than planned. It was a long trip but-wow-we had some very unusual and fun experiences.

So, here is the man of the hour and his brother Eli--who is still trying to figure out how to get his new baby brother to leave his toys alone!!! The homecoming pictures includes Eli's godbrother and godsister (who he stayed with while we were in Russia). It was a pretty exciting homecoming with the kids all trying to hold Anton at the same time--all in front of the escalator at the airport. No one minded-they just stepped around them and smiled.

We are adjusting--Anton is sleeping on schedule--which is a major relief. Eli is adjusting to being a big brother and Jim and I are still trying to figure out how to sleep. We all took a 6 hour nap yesterday!!

We are thrilled to be home.

congrats!

Congratulations! He is adorable. The picture at the airport is great. I can't believe you got 4 kids to look at the camera and smile at the same time.
