Good to be Home

Wow, what a crazy adventure!!!  We've been home for over 24 hrs now and starting our life as a family of 3.  The best thing I can say about the 16 hr flight is that it's over and we all survived!!!  Ugh, just had to keep thinking it was means to a beautiful end.

I actually got to unexpectedly pick up Tyler (a day early) after leaving the airport.  Even though I was exhausted, I was so excited to see him, have him meet Josie and take my sweet kiddos home.  Josie's first car ride in her car seat was less than pleasant, but once she got calmed down with big brother in the car, things got a little easier.  Ty has been precious with her.  Our first meal together was Whataburger (which was the first fast food restaurant we could find...anything was going to be great just to get Josie out of the car and calm her down).  Tyler couldn't even eat because he just wanted to take care of Josie....sharing his food, lemonade and giving her countless "lovins"  He is really taking ownership of being a big brother.  Top of his priority list with his little sister is showing her how to play Mario Kart....his positive that she is going to LOVE IT!

We had several family firsts yesterday....trip to the grocery store, went to the pool one last time before it closes and Josie got her first bath at home.  Overall, we're trying to adjust to our normalcy of life, whatever that is going to look like.  I'm very thankful that kids are so resilient.  =)

I am so grateful for the MANY prayers that I know were prayed on our behalf.  God is so good!!!  He blessed our trip in more ways than I could have even imagined.  I'm thankful for His protection and gracious provisions.  I'm grateful for the journey of bringing home Josie Marie and excited for what God has in store for my sweet family.  I'll continue to post more pics.
