We're Home

We made it home last night at 11:30. Ahhhh, home sweet home. We missed our kids so much. After the sleepless nights I had this past week and jetlag on top of that, I'm feeling a bit groggy.

Came home to a couple of sickies. Bennett and Eli both have fever/coughs.  Poor kiddos. It's kinda what I expected after having to toss the poor kids from one house to another all week. Just as long as everyone's better when I leave in 3 weeks to go get Anya!

It's hard to believe that we've just been to Eastern Europe and back!  The world is really a small place, you know it?

I still tear up every time I think about what just happened.  It all seems like a dream, but it wasn't. It was real and Anya is coming home with us in a month.  Wowee!

Life is about to change a little bit for us, but a whole lot for her. I pray that she'll be ready and it won't be too traumatic for her when we remove her from everything she has ever known in her life.  It's going to be quite the experience for her. 

So, the 10-day waiting period will end on March 5 and Anya will be totally officially ours. But I'm waiting until the 15th to go so I can travel with Katrina (who's picking up Vahnya) and Jeremy can stay home with the kids. Luckily, the orphanage has agreed to let her stay until I can come get her. I can't wait to have her all to ourselves!  These three weeks are going to fly by.
