Finally Home

It's hard to believe that we are finally home. After 24 hours of travel on Saturday, we arrived home to a very boisterous group of children. My parents said it was like Christmas morning all day long at our house on Saturday. The kids could not wait to welcome their baby sister into the family. Upon our arrival, there was a balloon, a welcome home banner, 4 very excited children and 2 emotional grandparents. After spending some time together, everyone went to bed.

Olivia had a tough time falling asleep, and even though she was exhausted, she woke in the middle of the night ready to play. The time change was definitely affecting her.

We spent Sunday enjoying time together, bonding with grandparents and taking a beautiful walk around the neighborhood meeting anxiously awaiting friends.

On Monday, the grandparents said goodbye, and we enjoyed a day to ourselves. The kids are eager to help out with Olivia. They enjoy helping her eat, carrying her around the house (even though she doesn't need to be carried), getting her dressed, and Kaylee even helps with "potty time."

Olivia slept through the night last night, and we're hoping for more of those nights to follow. She's eating like a champ, talking up a storm, and is a complete joy to have around.

We thank all of you for your prayers and support throughout this time. We're so grateful to be home but understand that it will be tough at times. We'll try to update our blog with significant events as best we can. But as you can imagine, things are pretty busy around here. :) Feel free to drop us an email, find me on facebook, or give us a call.
