Back at home--videos from our trips
Hi everyone...we arrived back home Thursday morning. We are starting to get over the jet lag and readjusted to our time zone. Nathan has been doing pretty well...he has a few tantrums a day, and we'd like him to eat more, but overall he's been very happy and exploratory at home. I'm off work for the next 6 weeks to help him adjust and take him to the doctor, dentist, urologist, orthopedist, etc.
Here is the video from our first trip in May: YouTube - Our Adoption Journey, Part 1 And our 2nd trip in July/Aug: YouTube - Our Adoption Journey, Part Two It's great to be back home!

Coming Home
Congratulations Miss Daisy. Nathan is beautiful! He looks like he is adjusting well already. He looks very happy.
Your videos brought back alot of sweet tearful memories because we adopted our daughter from the same baby home in Artem 2 years ago. Our two year anniversary coming home was August 6th from Vladivostok. Sydney was 14 months old when we came home and is 3 now. Congrats again and I hope you get over the jetlag soon.

Wow! Nathan is beautiful. Such amazing eyes - they look the exact color of the ocean in S. Florida - a beautiful light blue green. He looks so happy!

He is beautiful! I am jealous that you have managed to organize photos into videos. I have only been home 1 day less than you and I cant seem to manage to brush my teeth yet alone deal with the hundreds of photos and hours of video. Just kidding, amazing videos.
