We have been home since the 18th and been having alot of fun!!! It is amazing how a trip can change your life completely!! We have had just over a week of adjusting and getting to know each other. A lot has happened since my last post, so I will try to tell all as usual. I will start with NOW since that is the most important! We are really settling in as a family. It is much better than I could have dreamed!!! All the kids are still getting along well. Mikey has been jealous today of Cody and Tommy spending time together. It's quite cute but sad at the same time!! Cody is VERY attached to Tommy and Tommy loves him a bunch! Cody and Mikey have been playing cars and building blocks like crazy. They are very good together. Unfortunately he has quickly become a game freak. I guess it is a boy thing. He does like the leapster, and it is helping with his learning. He is still shy but so cute!! His shyness is in his talking mostly. When he talks, he covers his mouth with ...

We have made it home! We are so glad to be here with our new family!! This has been an amazing journey. I haven't been able to update like I had hoped, too due to time and availability of the internet, but it has been great. I was suprised when I saw how few posts I had done. It seemed like I was always doing them!! Anyway, thank you for following with us!! Last time I wrote, we had just gotten the children from the orphanage. It was a little scary, to be honest, to take them home and know that they would be ours forever and ever!! What if they don't like us?

Chelsea and Cody really settled in well with our family and the family we lived with. They very easily would come and sit on our laps and give hugs and kisses. They would just smile and play like they had been there for years. ...

Well, we finally have our kids!! We are so thankful and happy! I thought that I could never smile as big as I did yesterday...and I smile ALOT! We picked up Chelsea and Cody yesterday. There were many tears from the caretakers and all were a little nervous but they are ours at last!! Cody's care taker said, "please don't hurt him!" Can you imagine?? I couldn't believe that she would think such a thing!! After all we have been through to get to where we are, they are a deep treasure! I can't believe how much we love them already!! Jessica and Chelsea are inseperable!! They even slept together last night. So did Mikey and Cody...all hugs and smiles! You wouldn't believe how big the dinner table was!! Our hostess Marina returned from Michigan yesterday, so she was there with a toast to family and health! Chelsea put her necklace on right away and has not taken it off. I know that I am not going in order, but there is so much to say, and so much that happenned. ...
