We are home!

I am so happy to say those words. We did have a hiccup in Moscow. Sophia got very sick with bacterial bronchitis and we had to rush her to the American Clinic. Thank God that everything worked out and we were able to still fly home on June 12. The true and beautiful journey now begins!
