We're back!

For anybody still trying to keep up with these world travelers!

We made it home on Thursday at 3:00pm. What a plane ride home. Rebekah did wonderful despite the feeling in my arms towards the end of the trip. She slept off and on! We were in the airport at 9:00 and thru customs at 9:15! It was sooo good to see smiling faces. Our dads came to the airport to take us back to the hotel where the kids and grandparents stayed. It was wonderful to see the kids! Sean grew an inch, lost 2 teeth, and was blond and tan. I almost didn't recognize him. Maggie was beautiful! Jeremy was TALL! Rebekah was a bit shy as most people would be! We enjoyed some conversation and sharing of stories and then had a bite of lunch. Rebekah did manage to squeeze out a few smiles. We had the grandparents drive us home for fear of falling asleep while driving. We pulled into the driveway, got out of the car and looked at Jeff...he had an eye that was swollen and gucky stuff coming out of it! He was also having a hard time breathing since the day before. He went to the doctor the next day to find out he had bronchitis and pink eye.

Rebekah was not afraid of the dogs. she just barked at Rag's. This was a relief. That night Maggie could not take her eyes off of her! Finally, she told me that R had to sleep in my room because she had been crying all night! Yes! Jet lag is for the birds! Jeff has been miserable, Rebekah has been up all night, and I have been adjusting just fine...but with a sick and tired husband, all of the work has been up to me! He is making up for it now that he has been better for a few days!

Rebekah has been finding her place in this family. She is such an angel! I am so blessed that the Lord has chosen us to raise this little one! May we honor Him by the way we take care of her!

Loads of Love
